Beau Lamarre-Condon Trial: Police Colleague Sent 'Hey Hun' Instagram Message After Alleged Murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies

A Sydney court has heard new details about the police hunt for Beau Lamarre-Condon, the officer accused of murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. After the alleged killings, a police colleague sent Lamarre-Condon an Instagram message reading, “Hey hun ... can you please contact the crime manager at eastern suburbs asap when you get a chance?” The message was revealed during the trial, shedding light on how authorities tried to locate the accused during the days he was missing. Lamarre-Condon also told police in a three-minute phone call that he was not avoiding them, despite having vanished after the incident. The trial continues to examine the events leading up to Lamarre-Condon turning himself in, and the evidence presented so far underscores the challenges police faced in tracking down one of their own. The case has drawn significant public attention due to the nature of the alleged crimes and the involvement of a serving officer. As proceedings continue, the court is expected to hear further testimony about the timeline of the alleged murders and the subsequent investigation.
