A former police officer on trial for allegedly murdering a Sydney couple told a friend three days later that he would be set up.

Beau Lamarre-Condon, a 31-year-old former police officer, is on trial for the murder of Jesse Baird, a journalist, and Luke Davies at Baird's home in Paddington on 19 February 2024. He allegedly disguised himself as an Uber Eats rider to gain entry. Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty and is arguing self-defence before a jury in the NSW Supreme Court.

A witness, Stacey Parker, testified on Thursday that three days after the alleged murders, Lamarre-Condon told her he would be set up over the disappearance of two men. He said detectives had visited his mother's home looking for him and told Parker he was going to be framed for the missing men's disappearance.

Parker also told the jury that Lamarre-Condon asked her to dispose of a mobile phone he planned to post to her in Western Australia. He allegedly said he had stolen police files related to Covid and wanted her to turn the phone on, then off, and throw it into the ocean.
