Coleen Lamarre, the mother of ex-senior constable and accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon, was granted bail in the NSW supreme court on Tuesday. The 63-year-old grandmother of five, who also served in the police force, was charged with doing an act with the intent of perverting the course of justice over allegations she attempted to persuade a witness in her son’s trial to give a false statement.
Court proceedings
Lamarre has not yet entered a plea to the charge. According to AAP, she kept a blank face as she heard the bail decision, but emotions ran high in the court gallery. Her son, Beau Lamarre-Condon, is set to stand trial in the same court in September for the alleged murders of TV presenter Jesse Baird and his flight attendant partner, Luke Davies.
Details of the alleged murders
Lamarre-Condon allegedly fatally fired his service pistol at Baird and Davies at their inner-city Sydney home in February 2024. Lamarre-Condon, who briefly dated Baird, has pleaded not guilty to their murders. He faces two counts of domestic violence-related murder and aggravated break and enter. His case will return to court later in July.
