A senior constable with the New South Wales police has been terminated from his position following accusations of using his police-issued weapon to murder two individuals in Sydney’s east.
Beau Lamarre, a 28-year-old senior constable with the New South Wales police, has been dismissed from the force following accusations of murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in Sydney’s east. Lamarre, who is accused of using his police-issued firearm for the killings, is currently in custody. The decision to terminate his employment was made under the Police Act 1990, due to a loss of confidence in his ability to serve as an officer.
The victims were found in surfboard bags at a rural property near Goulburn. Allegations suggest Lamarre’s actions were premeditated, highlighted by a triple-zero call made from Davies’ phone upon the occurrence of gunshots, which at the time could not be traced by the police.
An independent inquiry has been initiated to examine the protocols surrounding the access and storage of firearms by police officers, as well as the force’s recruitment and assessment procedures. Lamarre had been a part of the NSW police since 2019, and his actions, alongside the response by NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb, are now under scrutiny.
The case continues to attract public and media attention, with ongoing investigations expected to provide further insights into the circumstances surrounding the alleged murders and the subsequent handling by the police force.
