The Roots of Leftist Rage
The case against an ex-cop charged with murdering a television presenter and his Qantas flight attendant partner has taken another dramatic turn.
Police now claim that six months before Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly shot dead Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, he broke into Mr Baird’s home and stole his wallet and phone.
Lamarre-Condon is accused of killing Mr Baird, 26, and Mr Davies, 29, at Mr Baird’s Paddington terrace in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on February 19, 2024.
He was originally charged with two counts of murder, later amended to indicate the offences were alleged to be related to domestic violence.
Lamarre-Condon was subsequently charged with aggravated break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence at Mr Baird’s home.
That crime is alleged to have taken place sometime on August 17, 2023 – almost exactly six months before Mr Baird and Mr Davies were killed.
Lamarre-Condon is accused of stalking Mr Baird during the alleged break-in, which is said to be aggravated because ‘he knew that there was a person present within the said dwelling house’.
On June 4, police laid a new second count of aggravated break and enter with intent to commit a serious indictable offence against the 30-year-old.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal the charge relates to an accusation that, on the day of the same alleged break-in, Lamarre-Condon stole Mr Baird’s wallet and phone.
Police first became concerned about the welfare of Mr Baird and Mr Davies two days after they were allegedly murdered.
Bloodied clothing and items belonging to the pair, including an $8,000 watch, credit card and wallet, had been found in a skip bin at Cronulla in Sydney’s south.
A significant amount of blood was found the same day in Mr Baird’s home.
Police allege Lamarre-Condon had bundled Mr Davies and Mr Baird’s bodies into surfboard bags before dumping them at a farm about 180km south-west of Sydney.
The couple’s bodies were located eight days after Lamarre-Condon allegedly shot them dead with his Glock service pistol.
Lamarre-Condon has spent almost 17 months in prison since the shootings, which were allegedly the result of a months-long campaign of ‘predatory behaviour’ targeting Mr Baird.
The one-time celebrity chaser reportedly briefly dated Mr Baird before the TV presenter began a relationship with Mr Davies.

Lamarre-Condon is due to face Downing Centre Local Court next Tuesday over the three existing and one new charge.
Daily Mail Australia revealed last month that Lamarre-Condon had offered to provide information about a woman he claims helped dispose of the bodies.
‘[He] wants to do the right thing for the families and is happy to assist investigators with information about who else played a part in the incident,’ a source claimed.
‘So far both the DPP and the officer in charge have failed to reply to the offer made by Lamarre-Condon’s legal team for assistance.’
The source claimed a woman, who Lamarre-Condon knew through her partner, had told investigators she had waited at the fence line of the Bungonia property where the bodies were first deposited for 15 to 20 minutes.
Phone records indicated Lamarre-Condon and the woman, previously described by police as ‘an innocent agent’, were at the farm for almost two hours, the source claimed.
‘Police also found two sets of white overalls at the scene where bodies were located, which indicates it was a two-person job,’ the source said.
A NSW Police spokeswoman said: ‘As this matter is before the court, we are unable to comment.’ A spokeswoman for the DPP said the same thing.

The case returned to Downing Centre Local Court in May after confidential discussions between prosecutors and the alleged killer’s Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick.
Both sides agreed ‘things are progressing,’ Magistrate Megan Greenwood was told.
A forensic psychiatrist’s report was also tendered after Lamarre-Condon was assessed in previous weeks.
Before joining the force, Lamarre-Condon ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.
Mr Baird worked on TV programmes, Studio Ten and Totally Wild, while Mr Davies, his new boyfriend, was a respected Qantas flight attendant.
Lamarre-Condon, who was sacked by the NSW Police Force in March 2024, has not entered pleas to any of the charges.
