Police officer allegedly confessed to murders using 'pew' to friend
Senior constable Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly told a friend he killed two men. This was within hours of the February 2024 shootings.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is on trial for murder. His ex is Jesse Baird.
Jesse Baird's partner was Luke Davies. The killings happened in February 2024.
Prosecutors told the court what happened after the shootings. Lamarre-Condon met with a friend named Ethan Lynch.
He allegedly talked about the killings in a casual way. He said "pew" and made a gun gesture.
When Lynch asked if he was joking, Lamarre-Condon allegedly replied: "I wish I was." Lamarre-Condon claims he shot both men in self-defence.
Each shooting happened during a separate struggle. He says moving the bodies showed panic, not a planned killing.
Prosecutors argue his preparation shows he planned the murders. He hired a car in his mother's name.
He bought surfboard bags. The trial continues this week in the NSW Supreme Court.

Why it mattersThe case tests something important. Can what he did after the killings prove he meant to kill? Or can panic and self-defence fit with that?
