Alleged killer cop files lawsuit against NSW Police
The former police officer accused of murder has now filed a lawsuit against the NSW Police for bullying and harassment.
Former NSW Police senior constable Beau Lamarre-Condon is accused of shooting Jesse Baird, 26, and his partner Luke Davies, 29, at Baird’s Paddington house in February and disposing of the bodies on a rural property near Goulburn.
While still awaiting trial over the alleged murders, the suit against the police force has been filed, with Sunrise newsreader Edwina Bartholomew sharing the updates.
“The defence lawyer for accused killer cop Beau Lamarre-Condon says his client is continuing with a lawsuit against the NSW Police Force for bullying and harassment while he was a constable,” Bartholomew said.
Lamarre-Condon's lawyer John Walford confirmed the move to The Daily Telegraph, saying, “Yes, action against police is continuing … it’s huge.”
The former officer has been in protective custody at the Metropolitan Remand and Reception Centre at Silverwater in Sydney's west for the past four months and sources close to the 28-year-old say his mental state is deteriorating.
"He's not doing real well at the moment," a source told Daily Mail Australia in April.
"Obviously it's set in now - what's happened and the allegations and where he is. I think the rot's set in mentally-wise. He's at a low point at the moment. He's very down. He's hit the lows."
Lamarre-Condon is expected to front court again on June 18th.
