Lamarre-Condon asked about tracking phones weeks before killings
Ex-officer Beau Lamarre-Condon asked about tracking phones and cars weeks before allegedly killing his ex and her partner.
Police officer Alexandra Scobie testified in NSW Supreme Court. Lamarre-Condon asked if phone records could be found when a device was turned off and if hire cars could be tracked.
Lamarre-Condon is a 31-year-old former officer. He stands accused of shooting his ex Jesse Baird and her partner Luke Davies with his police pistol in February 2024.
Through his lawyer, Lamarre-Condon claims self-defence. He says this about two separate violent struggles.
The prosecution case suggests his questions about tracking were planned in advance. Scobie said Lamarre-Condon called her later that night.
He said he would not do anything illegal.

Why it mattersThe testimony suggests he planned this. But the defence says the killings were acts of self-defence.
AustraliaThe trial continues in NSW Supreme Court. It exposes vulnerabilities in police vetting procedures and raises questions about how internal safeguards failed to prevent the alleged crime.
