Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former NSW police officer on trial for double murder, tells the court he was “smitten” rather than “obsessed” with a TV presenter he dated before the alleged killings. Multiple outlets report he describes his feelings about the relationship during the trial proceedings.
Several articles say the court heard he messaged a friend after meeting the presenter, framing it as a positive date. Other coverage focuses on his denial of obsession and how he presents himself while giving evidence.
Across the different reports, the core point is consistent: Lamarre-Condon disputes claims that he fixated on the TV presenter. Centre-left outlets emphasise the “smitten, yes. obsessed, no” framing and the text he sent, while centre-right outlets lead with his denials and, in some cases, mention him smiling in court.
