Prosecutors in the trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon present text messages they say were sent from Jesse Baird’s phone after Baird’s alleged murder. The court hears the messages were directed to Baird’s housemates, with the aim of making them believe Baird was still alive.
Across the outlets, the core detail is that the messages form part of the prosecution case, linking Lamarre-Condon to the phone activity after the incident. The reports describe the texts as evidence being shown to the jury, following the alleged killing of the former Australian TV presenter.
While the articles use different wording, they broadly align on the same sequence: Baird’s disappearance and death are alleged by prosecutors, Lamarre-Condon is charged, and the trial includes testimony or evidence about messages sent from Baird’s device to people living with him. The coverage focuses on what the court is hearing about the alleged attempt to maintain the appearance of Baird’s continued presence.
