A friend of Beau Lamarre-Condon has told the court that the former police officer arrived outside his work and told him he had killed two people, before asking him to help clean up.
But in a secretly recorded prison conversation played to the jury, Lamarre-Condon challenged his friend’s account, saying he had misheard him.
In this episode, Wayne and Stephen examine the friend’s testimony about the months before and days after Jesse Baird and Luke Davies died, including claims that he watched Lamarre-Condon fire his gun in the Royal National Park, and that he searched for somewhere to dispose of bloody clothes. However, the defence challenged the friend’s memory, credibility and understanding of what happened. The friend denied giving false evidence.
Beau Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of aggravated break and enter. His defence maintains that Jesse and Luke died during separate struggles involving his police-issued gun.
