A court heard on Monday that Beau Lamarre-Condon contacted his friend, Senior Constable Dana Schagan, days after he allegedly killed Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
Ms Schagan told the court that her final face-to-face conversation with Lamarre-Condon took place at her home in early 2024.
“He asked me a hypothetical question,” she said.
Lamarre-Condon, who was pictured below, asked whether police would investigate reports of gunshots if the sounds could have been caused by children setting off fireworks, Ms Schagan said.
She responded that Liverpool Police Station, where she was working at the time, was extremely busy and officers would likely have disregarded the report if they believed children were responsible for the noise.
Lamarre-Condon left the house soon afterwards, and the pair did not meet in person again.
On February 23, 2024, Ms Schagan saw media reports concerning the alleged murders of Baird and Davies.
She sent Lamarre-Condon a message on Facebook: “Where the f*** are you? What’s all this s*** in the media, what’s going on?”
Although he read the messages, he did not respond.
Ms Schagan subsequently gave police a statement about Lamarre-Condon.
Several days later, Lamarre-Condon called her and said: “Dan, it’s Beau.”
“Why the f*** are you calling me?” she replied.
He told her: “I just wanted to tell you that I love you and before you do anything, you need to know that not everything in the news is true, it will come out in court.”
Before ending the call, Ms Schagan said she told him: “You killed two people, why do you think I’d ever want to speak to you again?”
She then provided police with a second statement.
The court also heard that a handyman called in to repair Baird’s former rental property in Paddington believed the back door had been “kicked open”.
Crown prosecutors read Anthony Selvato’s statement to the court.
Mr Selvato said the real estate agent asked him to carry out repairs at the Brown Street property after forensic investigators had completed their work.
The agent wanted the home cleaned and repaired so it could be leased again.

Mr Selvato said he knew a shooting had occurred at the property from media reports, but was unaware of the specific details.
In his statement, he said the back door had ‘definitely’ been kicked open because it was broken at the bottom.
The Crown alleges Lamarre-Condon dragged the bodies of Baird and Davies (pictured below) from the house into the courtyard and left them in surfboard bags and under a tarp for hours.
Mr Selvato also said the real estate agent wanted the rear courtyard sprayed with a pressure hose to remove bloodstains.
The Crown read another witness statement to the court, which was given to police by a woman who lived near a skip bin in Cronulla.
Lamarre-Condon allegedly dumped bloodied bedsheets, clothes and small furniture items in the bin two days after he allegedly killed Baird and Davies.
In the statement, the woman said it was late at night on February 21 when she heard banging coming from outside.
She thought it was her neighbour, until she looked over her balcony and saw a ‘suspicious’ man pull up to the bin in a van or ute.
She said he was wearing a white hooded jumper and was described as tall and slim with olive skin.
According to her statement, the woman saw the man’s hands in the bin as he ‘moved things around’, including a ‘large object that could have been drawers or furniture’.
She then saw him walk back to his vehicle.
The court was also shown CCTV footage of Lamarre-Condon inside Bunnings Alexandria the day after he allegedly killed Baird and Davies.
On February 20, 2024, Lamarre-Condon could be seen on CCTV using the underground parking lot before heading up the escalator into the store in Sydney’s inner west.
The accused killer lined up behind shoppers to buy a drill and drill bit from the ‘tool shop’ section.
He then went to the returns desk to buy men’s tradie pants, gumboots, a hoodie and a dust mask, before leaving the store.
He paid cash for both purchases.
Further footage showed a white Toyota HiAce van driving through Paddington, where the alleged murders took place, at 9.37am that day.
Later that evening, he sat down for dinner at Sushi Train in Cronulla. Bank records show he spent $22.
He then walked around The Esplanade in Cronulla with a friend.
