Psychiatric testing has been delayed for a former police officer accused of murdering his ex-lover alongside his new boyfriend.

Beau Lamarre-Condon is charged with two counts of murder after allegedly shooting dead Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, and TV presenter Jesse Baird, 26, in February 2024.

He is accused of then placing their bodies in surfboard bags and dumping them at a rural property.

The accused killer was due to be assessed by a forensic psychiatrist in early March before entering his pleas.

But that assessment has not been conducted and the doctor’s report is now expected on April 1, Legal Aid lawyer Alex Curnick told Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday.

She requested a two-month adjournment to allow time to consider the report and take instructions from Lamarre-Condon about how he wanted to plead.

The adjournment would also allow for the defence and crown prosecutors to discuss the opportunity for early appropriate guilty pleas and narrowing of contested issues.

That conference is ‘tentatively’ scheduled for April 30, Ms Curnick said.

Lamarre-Condon is facing two counts of domestic violence-related murder, and one count of break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence.

Police allege the former senior constable shot the two men using his service weapon at Mr Baird’s inner-city home before attempting to dispose of their bodies.

The men’s remains were found inside surfboard bags at the fence line of a rural property in Bungonia, near Goulburn, in the NSW Southern Tablelands.

The attack is alleged to have been premeditated after a months-long campaign of ‘predatory behaviour’ targeting Mr Baird, who Lamarre-Condon briefly dated before the TV presenter began a relationship with Mr Davies.

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

He joined the force in 2019 and previously ran a celebrity blog, posing in photos with dozens of A-listers including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles.

The matter will return to court on May 20.
