Prosecutor questions Lamarre-Condon's story about fake dating profile
Former police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon, accused of murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, denies making a fake Grindr profile of his ex-partner.
Beau Lamarre-Condon is on trial for fatally shooting Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in Paddington, Sydney, on 19 February 2024 with his police service weapon. A friend gave evidence that Lamarre-Condon had made fake profiles of Baird on dating apps.
On his fifth day of testimony, Lamarre-Condon denied making a fake Grindr account targeting Baird after their breakup. Lamarre-Condon said he only tried to check whether a particular email address was active on the app.
He wanted to see if it belonged to a man Baird was seeing. He claimed he wanted to confirm whether Baird was in an exclusive relationship.
The prosecutor suggested the email Lamarre-Condon entered was not actually that man's address and may have been created by Lamarre-Condon himself.
