The article, shortened and in plain language
A long-term friend of an alleged double murderer has told a court that she felt pressured into helping him plot to win back his ex-partner with an allegedly fictitious cancer diagnosis.
Beau Lamarre-Condon is now before the Supreme Court of NSW for the first week of his trial, having pleaded not guilty to allegedly murdering former partner Jesse Baird and Baird’s new boyfriend Luke Davies at a home in Paddington on February 19, 2024.
The Crown argues Lamarre-Condon had grown obsessive about Baird after their on-and-off relationship ended in November.
Lamarre-Condon’s friend of 17 years, Shea Davison, testified in court on Friday about the former police officer allegedly faking a cancer diagnosis to win sympathy from Baird.
The court heard Lamarre-Condon had used Davison’s Instagram account to send a 1600-word message to his ex partner days after the pair split and Baird blocked him on the social media platform.
The message, written by Lamarre-Condon pretending to be Davison, said he had a tumour in his shoulder which could result in his arm needing to be amputated.
Stating the medications were the “strongest possible” ones, the message said they had “thrown off” Lamarre-Condon’s hormones and helped explain how he had behaved day-to-day.
