The case of the alleged killer of police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon will return to court in 2025.

Lamarre-Condon allegedly murdered 26-year-old Jesse Baird, a Network 10 presenter, and his partner Luke Davies, a 29-year-old Qantas stewardess, in Sydney in February.

On Tuesday, the case briefly returned to the Downing Center Local Court for presentation to Judge Daniel Covington.

The presence of Mr. Lamarre-Condon, who has been in custody since his arrest earlier this year, was not required at the hearing.

Legal Aid NSW, currently representing Mr Lamarre-Condon after his Solicitor General John Walford announced his abrupt withdrawal from the casethe proceedings were ordered to be postponed for 12 weeks until February 4, 2025.

A legal aid representative told the court there was likely to be a “further delay in the case”.

The court heard a 50-page submission from Legal Aid setting out the reasons for the delay, which included the limited availability of a forensic psychiatrist.

Crown prosecutor Brendan Donnelly did not object to the three-month adjournment.

Family members asked to follow Tuesday’s proceedings via video link, but the court was not told whether they were Mr Baird’s or Mr Davies’s next of kin.

The court has already ruled that a forensic psychiatrist will not be able to examine Mr. Lamarre-Condon until February 2025, with a report due in March.

Lamarre-Condon faces two counts of domestic violence murder and one count of burglary with intent to commit an indictable offense.

It is alleged that on February 19, Lamarre-Condon shot the Sydney couple with a police pistol at the home of Mr Baird, his former partner, in Paddington.

Lamarre-Condon allegedly hid the bodies of Mr Baird and Mr Davies under a large tarpaulin at the back of a city center house overnight, then returned the following morning to move them to Bungonia, about 180 kilometers southwest of Sydney.

The bodies of Mr Baird and Mr Davies were found in surfboard bags on February 27 at the Bungonia country estate after an extensive police search.

New South Wales detectives had unsuccessfully searched a nearby dam the day before.

Lamarre-Condon, who was fired from the New South Wales Police in March, did not comment on the allegations.

He was arrested on February 23 after reporting to Bondi Police Station.
