During a hearing at the nation’s highest court, Jesse Baird told judges he lived in constant fear of Beau Lamarre‑Condon, a former police officer, before the pair were allegedly murdered.
Prosecutors allege that Lamarre‑Condon killed Baird and his boyfriend, Luke Davies, in the Paddington district earlier this year, though no verdict has yet been rendered.
The case, which centers on the alleged 2024 murders, remains under judicial review, with the Supreme Court set to consider further legal arguments as the trial proceeds.
