The court case of a former cop accused of killing a Sydney couple has been delayed for nearly three months to give his new taxpayer-funded defence more time to prepare. Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, 29, was charged with double murder after police found the bodies of Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, and TV presenter Jesse Baird, 26, in February. Lamarre-Condon’s high-profile defence lawyer John Walford was replaced by Legal Aid representation in early November.
They claimed it was not clear all efforts had been made to find a specialist. But prosecutors did not oppose Tuesday’s application and the magistrate granted the adjournment until February 4. Lamarre-Condon, who is in custody, is alleged to have shot the men with his service weapon at Baird’s inner-city home before attempting to dispose of their bodies.
