<\/p>\nA police officer accused of the murder of a TV presenter and his partner claims he agreed to admit to manslaughter but prosecutors and police denied his offer.<\/p>\n
As Beaumont Lamarre-Condon formally pleaded not guilty to the murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies he interrupted the court to launch a tirade at investigators.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old said he opposed any orders for a closed court at his trial because he wanted people to know the truth of his case.<\/p>\n
He also accused both NSW Police and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions of being corrupt.<\/p>\n
“I will not be silenced,” Lamarre-Condon said via video-link in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday.<\/p>\n
The accused double-murderer claimed he had previously offered to prosecutors to plead guilty to one charge of manslaughter while in a lower court, but this was rejected.<\/p>\n
Justice Peter Hamill indicated that if such negotiations had taken place then they would have been recorded in the court file.<\/p>\n
Lamarre-Condon became the first serving NSW police officer charged with murder in several decades after he was accused of shooting the couple at Baird’s Paddington home in Sydney’s east.<\/p>\n

Police allege the former officer then bundled their bodies in surfboard bags and dumped them at a rural property.<\/p>\n
They were found eight days later after Lamarre-Condon handed himself in.<\/p>\n
The case has been mired in delays since, with the now-sacked senior constable changing lawyers twice and negotiations with prosecutors dragging on for months.<\/p>\n
For the first time since he was arrested, the words “not guilty” left Lamarre-Condon’s lips in open court as he was asked to answer to two counts of domestic violence-related murder.<\/p>\n
He also pleaded not guilty to aggravated break and enter.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old appeared on screen from prison, wearing a green polo shirt and sporting facial stubble.<\/p>\n
His trial is set to begin on September 21, 2026.<\/p>\n
NSW Police allege the attack was premeditated and followed a months-long campaign of “predatory behaviour” targeting Baird.<\/p>\n
Lamarre-Condon briefly dated the TV presenter before Baird began a relationship with Davies.<\/p>\n
Police allege the former senior constable used his service weapon to shoot the couple before attempting to dispose of their bodies.<\/p>\n
Suspicions were raised two days later when blood-stained possessions belonging to both men were found in a skip bin in Sydney’s south.<\/p>\n
The discovery led police to Baird’s blood-smeared share house, about 30km away in inner-city Paddington.<\/p>\n
Lamarre-Condon handed himself in to police two days later and allegedly directed police to their bodies on a rural property nearly 200km southwest of Sydney.<\/p>\n
The senior constable was sacked by NSW Police weeks after being charged.<\/p>\n
He joined the force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A police officer accused of the murder of a TV presenter and his partner claims he agreed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57777,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[85,67,42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-57776","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-crime-and-justice","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-top-news","13":"tag-top-stories","14":"tag-topnews","15":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57777"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
