A former police officer will fight accusations he murdered two men with his service weapon, his lawyer says.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon plans to plead not guilty to two murder charges related to the deaths of flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, and television presenter Jesse Baird, 26, in February 2024.

Lamarre-Condon is alleged to have shot the pair at Baird’s residence in Paddington, located in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, before placing their bodies in surfboard bags and disposing of them on a rural property.

They were found after Lamarre-Condon, 29, handed himself in.

Today, the lawyer for the ex-police officer announced that he would contest the murder accusations at the Downing Centre Local Court, moving the case towards a trial.

Lamarre-Condon's lawyer, Benjamin Archbold, who is his third legal representative in the matter, told the court of the pleas.

Jesse Baird and Luke Davies are believed to have been murdered.

The former cop, who remains in custody, was initially not on an audiovisual link when Archbold appeared on his behalf.

His mother attended court today.

The matter was listed for the NSW Supreme Court on October 3.

Lamarre-Condon is facing two counts of domestic violence-related murder and aggravated break and enter.

NSW Police allege the attack was premeditated and followed a months-long campaign of "predatory behaviour" targeting Baird.

Lamarre-Condon briefly dated the TV presenter before Baird began a relationship with Davies.

Police allege the former senior constable used his service weapon to shoot the couple before attempting to dispose of their bodies.

Lamarre-Condon was sacked by the NSW Police Force in March 2024.

He joined the police force in 2019 and was previously the operator of a celebrity blog, frequently appearing in photographs alongside numerous high-profile figures such as Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Harry Styles.

The case was littered with delays before the not guilty pleas were entered.

Crown prosecutor Brendan Donnelly had earlier expressed opposition to any further delays in the proceedings, noting Lamarre-Condon had ample opportunity to submit his pleas.

Charges against the former police officer were certified in July 2024.
