Senior Constable Beau Lamarre-Condon was arrested in February last year and charged with murdering TV presenter Jesse Baird and his Qantas flight attendant boyfriend Luke Davies.

After entering his not guilty pleas on October 3, Lamarre-Condon delivered an explosive speech from prison via an audio-visual link to the court.
'Can you still hear me?' he asked Justice Peter Hamill.
'I would just like to respectfully say this so the following is noted on the court transcript, so the DPP cannot deny having no knowledge of this.
'Whilst in the local court, I made a formal offer to the DPP of guilty to one count of manslaughter relating to Jesse Baird and Jesse Baird only.
'I want this noted on the transcript, so if I'm convicted of this offence at trial it was known I did take accountability.
'I am remorseful and I'm also entitled to my early plea discount.'
Lamarre-Condon said he would 'strongly oppose' any move to have the court closed or evidence suppressed when he faced trial because 'I want the public to know the actual truth of what happened'.
He then accused police who investigated Mr Davies and Mr Baird's deaths of 'serious misconduct and corruption', to which the DPP had been 'partly' complicit.
'The truth will always prevail and I will not be silenced,' he said.
Justice Hamill told Lamarre-Condon he was represented by a 'very capable solicitor' and noted there would be a record of any negotiations which took place in the local court.
'But in any event, we'll proceed,' he said.
