EXCLUSIVE Accused killer cop Beau Lamarre-Condon hit with fresh charge more than a year after he allegedly shot dead Jesse Baird and Luke Davies
Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly shot dead Jesse Baird, 26, and Luke Davies, 29, at Paddington in Sydney 's eastern suburbs in February 2024.
He was originally charged with two counts of murder, later amended to indicate they were alleged to be related to domestic violence.
Lamarre-Condon was then charged with aggravated break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, listed as 'stalking Jesse Baird'.
In relation to that offence, police allege Lamarre-Condon broke into Mr Baird's Paddington house in August 2023, six months before he and Mr Davies were killed.
On June 4, police laid a new second charge of aggravated break and enter with intent to commit a serious indictable offence against the 29-year-old.
Lamarre-Condon was due to face Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday in relation to the three existing and one new charge.
Daily Mail Australia revealed earlier this 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.'
Police allege that Lamarre-Condon bundled Mr Davies and Mr Baird's bodies into surfboard bags before dumping them at a farm in the Southern Tablelands.
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 dumped 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 located 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.
Lamarre-Condon has spent almost 16 months in prison since the shootings, which were allegedly the result of a months-long campaign of 'predatory behaviour' targeting Mr Baird.
The onetime celebrity chaser reportedly briefly dated Mr Baird before the TV presenter began a relationship with Mr Davies.
Suspicions of foul play were raised after possessions belonging to the dead men were found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla, leading police to Mr Baird's blood-smeared terrace.
The case returned to Downing Centre Local Court last month 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.
Lamarre-Condon 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.
Baird worked on TV programs Studio Ten and Totally Wild while 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.

Fletcher worked in Attercliffe Police Station's property store and in 2013 a "large amount of cash" was seized during a police investigation, the force said she counted and banked the money for the force but she actually banked £98,500 to her own account with £1,500 into the force account. She left the force in 2015. The theft came to light in summer 2017, police said, when a Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) investigation connected to the seized money requested the cash but it could not be investigation was launched by the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit (YHROCU) and Fletcher was told to pay £47, said the original 2018 order had been reconsidered and Fletcher must now pay the extra sum calculated from assets acquired since the first confiscation she fails to pay in three months she could face a 12-month prison Supt James Axe, the force's head of professional standards, said police employees should behave "professionally, honestly and with integrity" but "Fletcher showed none of these traits" and had "behaved disgracefully".He said the money recovered by YHROCU's "vital work" means more money is secured for community grants and police training so criminals cannot keep benefitting.

EXCLUSIVE The terrifying 'don't wake up' drug sweeping Australia: Recovered meth addict sounds the alarm
A reformed ice dealer has sounded the alarm over a 'don't wake up' rave drug he warns has the power to devastate countless lives in Australia. When he was dealing, Braiden Tonks, 32, drove luxury cars and Harley Davidsons. But, after countless years of abusing meth, sleeping rough and a stint in Tasmania 's frigid Risdon prison, he left the criminal world behind. Now, the Gold Coast tradie and dad is raising awareness of the dangers of the party drug GHB, also known as gamma hydroxybutyrate or 'Frank'. GHB, typically sold in fish-shaped soy sauce packets, is mixed with soft or alcoholic drinks and inhibits the signalling of pain between the nerves in the brain and body. The effects - relaxation, sociability, euphoria and an increased sex drive - are felt within 15 minutes. But, even a slight overdose of the drug can prove fatal. Mr Tonks said the rave drug has gained a cult following in south-east Queensland and is steadily rising in popularity across Australia. 'It just slows your heart right down, puts you into a completely relaxed state where your heart will just slowly beat and just slowly just stop, that's how you die from it,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'It's not like an instant bang of being stabbed, I'm dead. It's just slow, just like, go to sleep, don't wake up.' The former drug dealer and meth addict said he had receive word from his underworld sources that it was rising in popularity. 'It's one of those drugs that's just growing by the day, and dropping people, left, right and centre... it goes hand in hand with addicts as well,' he said. The clear, odourless liquid is also commonly used as a 'date rape' drug. 'You can imagine in a nightclub, let's just say if there's a dirty old bloke over there, and there's a group of girls over there, and he just does a quick squirt in their drink, for example,' Mr Tonks said. 'The next thing you know, there's an ambulance running in to try and save one of these girls, it's as simple as that, it's dangerous.' Dr Hester Wilson, Chief Addiction Medicine Specialist for the Royal College of General Practitioners, said certain factors can increase GHB's risk factors. A slim proportion of the population have reported trying the drug, however, usage is higher among those who take or inject other illicit drugs. Among those who inject drugs, 15 per cent reported using GHB. 'If you don't have enough, it does nothing. And if you have too much, you overdose. And that window of dose is pretty narrow,' Dr Wilsonn said. Dr Wilson said doses could be miscalculated when combining GHB with other drugs, adding it was challenging for doctors to deter patients who have overdosed, due to the minimal 'comedown' or 'withdrawal' symptoms. 'They'll wake up and feel absolutely fine, won't know what has happened,' she said. 'It can be hard to engage them. They'll just wander off home. They're a hard group to engage in kind of harm reduction strategies.' Users also take gamma-butyrolactone or 'fantasy', the compound 1,4-Butanediol. Both are chemical precursors to GHB and convert to the substance once ingested. GHB and its chemical relatives can be illegally produced under the guise of legal intentions, for purposes such as 3D printing and creating spandex. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said the substance was increasingly being used for recreational use after 3.8tonnes of 1,4-Butanediol was seized in May. Acting Assistant Commissioner Paula Hudson said organised crime networks will flood communities with any illicit substance for lucrative profits. 'By importing this substance into Australia, criminal networks are creating a demand and appetite for this drug and the bigger the appetite, the bigger the profits,' she said. 'We have seen organised crime use a number of methods to illegally import this substance into Australia, such as concealing it in bottles labelled as cosmetics, including shampoo and body wash.'
