A forensic psychiatric report has been received for a former police officer accused of the murder of his ex-partner and the man’s new boyfriend, with the alleged killer set to front court more than a year after the double homicide.

Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, was charged with the murder of Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird as well as Baird’s boyfriend, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies.

Mr Lamarre-Condon allegedly killed the couple with his police firearm at a Paddington share house in Sydney’s east last February.

Police allege he then put their bodies in surfboard bags before taking them to a remote property near Goulburn in the NSW southern tablelands.

He was arrested by police four days after their bodies were found, and has since been charged with two counts of domestic violence related murder and one count of breaking and entering.

No pleas have been entered.

The case was heard briefly at the Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday morning, where the court was told a forensic psychiatric report on Mr Lamarre-Condon was received.

The alleged killer’s Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick was granted a four week adjournment to June 17 by Magistrate Megan Greenwood with no opposition from the crown prosecutor.

Mr Lamarre-Condon will appear in court on that date via an audiovisual link about 16 months following the alleged murders.

The prosecutor agreed with Ms Greenwood that “things are progressing” in the case.

Mr Lamarre-Condon had been in a brief relationship with Mr Baird, with police alleging the former officer exhibited a pattern of “predatory” behaviour in the lead up to the double-homicide.

While police allege Mr Lamarre-Condon planned to kill Mr Baird, they believe Mr Davies’ was a tragic, unplanned casualty.

Mr Lamarre-Condon has been dismissed from the NSW Police Force.
