Police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon sent voice notes saying he was unwell and trying to regain a positive mindset in the days after he allegedly killed his ex-boyfriend and the man's new partner.

Beau Lamarre-Condon, 31, is on trial for the alleged murders of his ex-boyfriend Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in Baird's home in Paddington, Sydney, on 19 February 2024. He allegedly used his police service weapon to shoot both men and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of domestic violence-related murder and one count of aggravated break and enter.

On Tuesday, the court heard voice recordings Lamarre-Condon sent to a man he had matched with on a dating app in early 2024. On 20 February, the day after the alleged killings, Lamarre-Condon sent a voice note saying: 'Sorry I've been a bit MIA, I've literally been very sick and then I've got this operation tomorrow so that's not fun. I'm trying to get back into a positive mindset. I've not been to the gym, I have no intentions of going to the gym this week.' He added he was cancelling plans to attend a boat party that weekend because 'my body is not looking the best right now'.

Lamarre-Condon handed himself in at Bondi Police Station on 23 February. According to testimony, he told detectives he could not remember the alleged incident and described an 'out-of-body' experience. He later helped investigators narrow down a location where the bodies were found near a Greek monastery in Bungonia, about 200 kilometres south of Sydney.
