Beau Lamarre-Condon 'proud' of tampering with Baird's phone, murder trial hears
A colleague testified that Lamarre-Condon bragged about tampering with Jesse Baird's phone. When Baird ended contact, Lamarre-Condon expressed intense anger.
On day four of the double-murder trial, officer Beau Lamarre-Condon's obsession with Jesse Baird came to light. A colleague testified he bragged about tampering with Baird's phone.
He said he was 'very happy and proud' of it. The men dated in summer 2022-23.
Baird was casual, but Lamarre-Condon was intensely attached. In November 2023, Lamarre-Condon posted a fake Instagram story with flowers.
It falsely suggested Baird had sent them. When Baird found out and ended contact, Lamarre-Condon told colleagues he was 'really mad'.
He said he would 'do anything to get him back'. He pleads not guilty to murder.
He claims self-defence during two violent struggles.
