Accused killer Beau Lamarre-Condon is shut down by the judge and told to ‘stop giving speeches’ in his murder trial

Beau Lamarre-Condon gave evidence for the third day on Monday.

He previously told the court that he went to Jesse Baird’s house on the day of the alleged murders to collect his own possessions, including a $24,000 designer Cartier ring.

Asked on Monday how he could afford such luxuries, Lamarre-Condon said he had two side hustles.

Lamarre-Condon said his annual police salary was about $120,000 because he worked a lot of extra shifts.

‘I also have a business on the side … I have a swimwear line and I put a lot of the money into Bitcoin,’ he said.

He also told the court he sold Hermès Birkin bags, making profits between $10,000 and $100,000.

The former cop also told the court that he decided to go to the house when Baird wasn’t home because he didn’t want an apprehended violence order against him, which would jeopardise his job as a police officer.

He said he brought his police gun inside with him because leaving it in a car, unattended, was illegal.

Lamarre-Condon told the court that he decided to wear an Uber Eats outfit into the house because he saw it inside a bag on the street near Baird’s home.

Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC (pictured below right) asked whether he was concerned about a theft charge from taking the Uber Eats outfit.

‘I wasn’t intending on stealing [the outfit], I was intending on putting it straight back,’ he told the court.

Mr Hatfield asked: ‘So you got this idea because there might be an outfit in a bag that you could use?’

Lamarre-Condon said: ‘Mr Crown, I want to remind you that it was raining and there was a jacket and waterproof pants.

‘The bag was partly open and I could see the high-vis jacket.’

Mr Hatfield asked: ‘And then you thought, “This is a plan, this is a jacket I can wear”?’

He replied: ‘To avoid getting an AVO, I thought it was worth it to avoid getting an AVO.’

Mr Hatfield asked: ‘What about a charge of theft or stealing?’

Lamarre-Condon said he wasn’t going to commit larceny, which would involve him taking the items and not giving them back.

He maintained he was going to return the outfit once he was finished with it.

Lamarre-Condon told the court he was ‘freaking out’ after the alleged murders, but it didn’t appear that way in CCTV because he was trained as a cop to remain calm.

His voice trembled as he told the court that he originally planned to hand himself in to police over the deaths of Baird and Davies.

‘The bodies were in the back of the van, I could have still gone to police,’ he said.

When asked if that was a serious answer, Lamarre-Condon said: ‘Yes that is a very serious answer, I don’t find this funny, I don’t see this as a joke.’

Mr Hatfield asked why Lamarre-Condon appeared relaxed hours after the alleged murders, while walking into Decathlon with a friend.

He said that he was trained as a police officer to remain calm in the face of tragedy.

‘It doesn’t mean I wasn’t sitting in the shower crying before that,’ he said.

‘This is someone I cared about … Jesse was someone who I cared about and just because you don’t see it on camera doesn’t mean I don’t care.’

Mr Hatfield asked whether he was distressed while he was ‘licking his fingers and laughing’ at Sushi Train in Cronulla after the alleged murders.

Lamarre-Condon then accused the Crown of failing to show the full footage.

He said the full-length version of the footage showed him putting his hands on his temples in distress.

‘I’m putting my hands to my temples, I’m talking to [my friend], he’s looking down at the table, we are not laughing,’ he said.

‘I’m freaking out.’
