Beau Lamarre-Condon admits saying 'I hate losing' about his ex weeks before alleged murder
Lamarre-Condon admitted saying 'I hate losing' about his ex weeks before the alleged murders.
Beau Lamarre-Condon is 31 years old. On Friday in court, he admitted telling a friend "I hate losing" and "I can't let things go."
He was discussing his ex-boyfriend Jesse Baird in early 2024, weeks before Baird and Luke Davies were allegedly murdered. The former policeman is on day seven of his NSW Supreme Court trial.
He claims he was speaking in past tense. He says he was joking about another man Baird had dated years earlier.
Lamarre-Condon told the jury: "That's not how I was feeling currently, this was very past tense conversations." Prosecutors asked if he was already thinking about murdering Baird.
This was when he bought a burner phone under a false name in January 2024. Lamarre-Condon denied this.
He said he wanted the phone to collect statements from officers. He claims these officers were bullied by a senior sergeant.
