A former police colleague of accused murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon testified that she feared he might "kill me too" after he arrived at her home to clean a blood-stained van, the Daily Mail reported.
The friend, identified in court as Fiona Rosso, told the NSW Supreme Court that Lamarre-Condon appeared at her house on February 22, 2024, three days after he allegedly killed Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. Lamarre-Condon allegedly told her, "I've done something bad, I don't want to tell you, I don't want to incriminate you," and asked her to search Jesse Baird's name online.
Rosso told the court she saw news articles about the disappearance of Baird, a former television presenter, and his partner Davies. She then followed Lamarre-Condon outside to a white van where he began scrubbing blood from the interior. Rosso stated she became aware that a police officer was a suspect in the case.
"When reading the articles, I saw [the number for] Crime Stoppers and I just wanted to scream, 'He's here! He's here!'" she told the court, according to the Daily Mail. Rosso testified that she was unsure if she was "part of the plan where he could now kill me too" and did not want to provoke him.
Justice Natalie Adams later informed the jury that while Rosso feared for her life, there was no evidence Lamarre-Condon intended to harm her.
Phone records presented in court showed Baird's phone was turned off for periods between his alleged murder on February 19, 2024, and February 21. His phone appeared to be turned on briefly on February 20, connecting to a tower in Paddington, where Baird lived, before being turned off again. Pending texts were delivered when the phone was briefly reactivated on the afternoon of February 18.
Davies' phone records indicated he sent a final text message at approximately 9:12 a.m. on the day he died. About 50 minutes later, he called NSW Police. Lamarre-Condon had allegedly broken into Baird's home, where Davies was staying, and opened fire.
Calls from NSW Police to Davies' phone went to voicemail. Davies' phone also appeared to be turned off later that afternoon, and his mother was unable to reach him on February 20 because his phone was off.
