Story summary

In October 2026, a secretly recorded jail call from December 2024 was played during the murder trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon at the NSW Supreme Court. The recording revealed that Lamarre-Condon told an unnamed friend he would have bought a gun for $10,000 through kids he worked with if he had planned to commit the murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, rather than using his police-issued firearm. During the trial, which began on Monday, Lamarre-Condon faced two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of break and enter for allegedly killing Baird and Davies in February 2024 at Baird's Paddington rental property. In the call, he claimed he was only there to retrieve his belongings but ended up shooting Baird after a scuffle broke out, with Davies allegedly fatally shooting himself while trying to take Lamarre-Condon’s gun.
