Beau Lamarre-Condon has denied making a fake dating app account of Jesse Baird after their breakup, a court has heard.
The former police officer is accused of fatally shooting Baird and his new partner, Luke Davies, with his police service weapon in Baird’s Paddington home in Sydney on 19 February 2024.
He has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one charge of aggravated break and enter.
Earlier during his double murder trial at the NSW supreme court, a friend of Lamarre-Condon’s gave evidence that he had made fake profiles of Baird on apps like Grindr.
Sitting in the witness box for the fifth day, Lamarre-Condon was asked whether he told a friend he had made a fake Grindr account in relation to Baird, after one of the former officer’s friends earlier gave evidence about the matter.
Under cross-examination from crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC on Wednesday, Lamarre-Condon said that had “never happened”.
Lamarre-Condon told the court that after his break up with Baird, he had tried to create a fake account for a man the presenter had been seeing.
