Accused double killer cop’s ‘Bobby P’ nickname revealed in court as he admits how he allegedly broke into the home of his ex-lover
Accused killer Beau Lamarre-Condon’s friend gave him the nickname ‘Bobby P’ because he wedged a bobby pin into Jesse Baird’s door while trying to stage a break-in, a court has heard.
Lamarre-Condon, 31, has been charged with break and enter over the alleged break-in on August 17, 2023, but he told the NSW Supreme Court that he’s not guilty because he used a key to let himself into Baird’s Paddington terrace that night.
The former cop claimed that he shoved a bobby pin into the lock to make it look like a break-in.
He told the court that he was actually invited to stay over at Baird’s house that evening, but he wanted to go through Baird’s phone to see if he was secretly dating anyone else.
The court heard that he planned to enter the house with a key, sneak into Baird’s room, take his phone and walk over the road to go through it. He would then place it back into the house and ‘jump into bed with Jesse’.
Lamarre-Condon claimed he didn’t want Baird to wake up and ask what he was doing, so he put the bobby pin in the door to make it look like an intruder had broken in and taken the phone.
The court heard things went awry when Baird woke up and saw someone in his room, assumed he was being robbed, yelled, ‘Let’s go, c***!’ and chased Lamarre-Condon down the street.
Lamarre-Condon told the court that he never intended to steal Baird’s wallet and phone, so he threw them into the street as he ran. The phone went down a drain and Baird never retrieved it.

Baird filed a police report over the incident, but he never found out the alleged intruder was Lamarre-Condon.
In court on Wednesday, Lamarre-Condon was asked by Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC whether he told his friend, known as Fiona Rosso for court reporting purposes, about the alleged break-in.
He said he had told Ms Rosso about it, and that’s why his number was saved in her phone under ‘Bobby P’.
Mr Hatfield put to Lamarre-Condon that he wasn’t invited to stay over at Baird’s house on the night of the alleged break-in, but the accused maintained that he was invited.
Lamarre-Condon has also been charged with two counts of domestic violence-related murder over the deaths of Baird and his new boyfriend Luke Davies in the same terrace on February 19, 2024.
