The court heard on Monday that Beau Lamarre-Condon told a friend to “bring your big boy diapers” before the pair held a recorded, hour-long conversation at Silverwater Correctional Centre.
The call and the subsequent face-to-face meeting took place on December 14, 2024 — 10 months after Lamarre-Condon allegedly murdered Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
The friend, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, previously told the court that Lamarre-Condon allegedly confessed to the killings on February 19, 2024.
He also claimed in evidence last week that Lamarre-Condon asked him to take time off work to help clean the alleged crime scene and dispose of the bodies.
The friend told the court he interpreted the reference to “diapers” as a warning that Lamarre-Condon intended to make distressing or uncomfortable remarks during their meeting.
By then, the friend had already provided police with three statements. The court heard Lamarre-Condon knew those statements existed.
The 50-minute meeting was recorded, and the audio was played to the court on Monday.
In the recording, Lamarre-Condon called his friend “dumb” and suggested he had a poor memory and could not be relied upon.
“This is the annoying thing about you, I love you, but if I was going to tell a story to [my other friends], they’re more likely to get it accurate,” Lamarre-Condon said.
“Sometimes, you don’t pay much attention, because it’s not important to you, and that’s an honest mistake, it’s not intentional.”
The friend attempted to explain that he was angry because Lamarre-Condon had allegedly placed him in a “difficult situation” by approaching him on the day of the alleged murders and saying, “I’ve killed people”.
Lamarre-Condon repeatedly told him, “I know you’re not a liar,” while describing him as “human”, inexperienced and liable to make mistakes.
“I didn’t even f***ing do it. Use your brain,” Lamarre-Condon could be heard saying.
When the friend appeared ready to leave, Lamarre-Condon urged him to stay calm, saying: “Breathe. Stop. Breathe.”
He repeatedly maintained that he was “taking accountability” for his role in the deaths of Baird and Davies, as well as for involving his friend.

The friend responded: “All this could have been avoided, and it’s because of your choices.”
“I know! That’s why I’ve taken accountability … F***ing hear me out,” Lamarre-Condon replied.
He then began describing events after entering Baird’s home, but stopped himself and said, “maybe I shouldn’t say that…”.
“I hadn’t spoken to Jesse since November [2023] but I’m kind of aware he’s moving house,” he said.
“I go in to say hello, there’s no answer…maybe I shouldn’t say that…I go into the kitchen…actually, maybe I shouldn’t talk about that… Let’s say this, if you were at your house and you thought you were being robbed, would you f***ing kick off?”
The friend then started talking about how Luke Davies was also in the house, before he apparently started walking away from Lamarre-Condon.
‘Can you come back here?’ Lamarre-Condon (pictured above, with the friend at Sushi Train in Cronulla) could be heard saying.
The friend replied: ‘Yeah, I’m sitting here getting more and more frustrated and I’m this close to leaving.’
Lamarre-Condon asked: ‘Why are you leaving?’
He then started detailing his version of events again, saying that Baird had broken up with him, he was upset about it, and ‘had a cry like you do with friends’.
‘S**t went wrong and that’s my fault and I am taking the blame for it,’ he said.
The friend asked: ‘What you’re telling me might not be the truth, but how do I know? I’m only getting my information from you.’
He then pointed out that Lamarre-Condon allegedly broke into Baird’s home that day because he didn’t have permission to go inside.
Under cross-examination, the friend told the court that he was wearing a recording device throughout that conversation to help police.
When Lamarre-Condon asked if he was wearing a wire, the friend lied and said he wasn’t.
