Australia news live: accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon’s mother granted bail

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 after being 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. She has not yet entered pleas to the charge. AAP reports the 63-year-old grandmother of five, who also served in the force, kept a blank face as she heard she would be granted bail, but emotions ran high in the court gallery. Her son is set to stand trial in the same court in September. Lamarre-Condon allegedly fatally fired his service pistol at the TV presenter Jesse Baird and his flight attendant partner, Luke 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 and his case will return to court later in July.
