‘I never executed Jesse Baird’: Beau Lamarre-Condon re-enacts shooting when giving evidence in NSW trial

Former police officer has pleaded not guilty to murdering Baird and Luke Davies in Paddington in early 2024

Beau Lamarre-Condon has told a Sydney court he did not “execute” Jesse Baird as he acted out the way he allegedly shot the 26-year-old.

The former police officer is accused of fatally shooting Baird and his new partner, Luke Davies, with his police service weapon in Baird’s Paddington home in Sydney on 19 February 2024.

He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one charge of aggravated break and enter.

Giving evidence under cross-examination on Monday, Lamarre-Condon reiterated that Baird was holding a knife while the pair struggled in the house.
