Disturbing footage has emerged of accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon flirting with one of the men he allegedly killed.
Lamarre-Condon is accused of murdering former Studio Ten presenter Jesse Baird and her Qantas flight attendant boyfriend Luke Davies in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Paddington in February.
Three months after the alleged crime shocked all of Australia, new photographs have emerged of Lamarre-Condon and Baird taken on several holidays and at a family event.
The photographs, taken at the end of last year and obtained by the Daily Telegraphshows the couple smiling together while drinking beers next to a waterfall.
Another photo, taken at a viewing point overlooking the Sea Cliff Bridge on Grand Pacific Drive south of Sydney, shows a shirtless Lamarre-Condon with his arm around Mr Baird as they pose for a panoramic photograph.
In another image, the former police officer stands next to Mr Baird as he holds a child at a family gathering.
“I can confirm that even though I look like I’m the father of two in this photo, I’m just the father of one very bold French bulldog,” Lamarre-Condon’s caption reads.

Lamarre-Condon has been in protective custody at the Silverwater Metropolitan Detention and Reception Centre, in western Sydney, for the past four months and his mental state is deteriorating.
“He’s not doing very well at the moment,” a source close to the 28-year-old told Daily Mail Australia last month.
“Obviously it is now clear what happened, the accusations and where he is.” I think the rot has set in mentally. It’s at a low point right now.
He is very depressed. He has hit rock bottom.
The former police officer was sacked by New South Wales Police in March.
Accused cop killer Beau Lamarre-Condon has finally come to grips with the harsh future he faces as the former celebrity hunter sinks into despair in his prison cell.
Lamarre-Condon is accused of murdering former Studio Ten presenter Jesse Baird, 26, and Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, 29, in the inner-city suburb of Paddington on 19 February.
Police allege that Lamarre-Condon shot and killed Mr. Baird, 26, and Mr. Davies, 29, with his service pistol at Mr. Baird’s home on February 19 and then dumped their bodies two days later in Southern Tablelands.
Baird and Lamarre-Condon were previously involved in what police described as an on-off romance, but Baird had not wanted to enter into a relationship.
Lamarre-Condon, who regularly posted photos of himself with international stars on social media, surrendered to police in Bondi on February 23.
After briefly appearing in court that day, Lamarre-Condon was transported to the MRRC, where he was placed in protective custody due to his status as a police officer.
Prison authorities also considered him potentially at risk because he was accused of extremely serious crimes, had attracted media attention and had never been in prison before.
The detective spoke to Lamarre-Condon at the MRRC on February 24 after receiving legal advice from Mr Walford.
Police later located the bodies of Baird and Davies at a property in Bungonia, about 180 kilometers southwest of Sydney.
Lamarre-Condon is under constant camera surveillance in his prison cell and is not allowed contact with any other inmates.

On February 29, after Lamarre-Condon was behind bars for six days, Walford told Daily Mail Australia his client was coping with his new surroundings.
“It’s all right,” said Mr. Walford. ‘He’s fine.’
A NSW Correctional Services spokeswoman said the department did not comment on the circumstances of any individual inmate, but prison sources were able to outline some of Lamarre-Condon’s security arrangements.

Regular physical checks are also carried out to ensure no damage has been done to their sparse accommodation, which is in a relatively new section of the 27-year-old prison.
It is the most extreme security available at the MRRC and Lamarre-Condon is completely isolated from all other prisoners at the facility.
Prison authorities do not necessarily consider Lamarre-Condon to be a particular risk for suicide, but his circumstances combine to suggest he would be vulnerable in prison.
