Starstruck cop Beau Lamarre-Condon hunted down Pitbull and the Kardashians, court told – as jury hears how he summed up his job: ‘Devil’s work’

Accused killer and former cop Beau Lamarre-Condon used to track down celebrities like Pitbull and Kourtney Kardashian to take photos with them, a court has heard.

Lamarre-Condon’s former celebrity-chaser friend told the NSW Supreme Court last week that they met outside Channel Seven’s Sunrise studio in Sydney in 2010 while waiting for US-based rapper Pitbull to emerge.

They exchanged numbers and became friends over their shared fixation with famous people.

‘We had a bit of a fascination with them, used to try and get photos,’ the friend told the jury. 

She said Lamarre-Condon had a knack for finding A-listers, like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, and getting close enough to take selfies with them.

The friend also told the court that she used to fly to Sydney from her home in Western Australia about twice a year to find celebrities, and would meet up with Lamarre-Condon each time.   

Asked by Crown prosecutors if they had any mutual interests aside from celebrities, the friend said: ‘Covid, I didn’t agree with it and I used to bounce off him, ask him questions and whatnot.’

She then clarified that she didn’t agree with Covid vaccine mandates, telling the court she used to attend protests where police would clash with the crowd.

‘I asked [Lamarre-Condon] how a cop can push back against someone fighting for our freedoms, and he told me it was the devil’s work,’ she told the court.

About 14 years into their friendship, on February 20, 2024, Lamarre-Condon asked her to get rid of a phone for him, she told the court. 

He allegedly told her the phone was related to documents he had stolen from the police commissioner’s office, and that he was about to be ‘set up for two guys that had gone missing’.

She later saw Lamarre-Condon’s name in news articles about the alleged murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.

In the articles, she read that Baird’s friends continued to receive texts from his phone after he died. She then contacted police.

Lamarre-Condon, now 31, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related murder, and one count of aggravated break and enter after he allegedly broke into Baird’s home and stole his phone and wallet in August 2023. 

His murder trial is being heard in the NSW Supreme Court.
