Accused killer Beau Lamarre-Condon kicked out of NSW Police
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/accused-killer-beau-lamarre-condon-kicked-out-of-nsw-police/
Accused killer Beau Lamarre-Condon kicked out of NSW Police
Tumblr media
NSW Police have officially kicked out accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon after he allegedly used his police-issued gun to kill gay couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
The 28-year-old is in custody after police charged him with murdering the Sydney couple at Jesse’s home in Paddington last month.
On Friday, NSW Police confirmed the force has officially “removed” Lamarre-Condon.
“An off-duty police officer charged with two counts of murder in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs has been removed today from the NSW Police Force,” a police spokesperson said.
“Under section 181D of the Police Act 1990, [NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb] has the ability to remove officers if she has lost confidence in their suitability to continue as a police officer.”
Under that law, the decision has the same effect as if Lamarre-Condon had “resigned” from the force.
Commissioner Karen Webb earlier said on February 28 she’d started the process to dismiss him. That day, she served Beau Lamarre-Condon a show cause notice, the first step in the process.
Review into how Beau Lamarre-Condon allegedly used police firearm
NSW Police allege Lamarre-Condon, who joined the force in 2019, used his police-issued gun to murder the gay couple.
The accused killer then allegedly disposed of the men’s bodies at a rural property at Bungonia, southwest of Sydney.
Commissioner Webb earlier said Lamarre-Condon’s alleged use of the police firearm in the horrific crimes “can never happen again”.
“We’ll allege the accused was manipulative in the way he’s reported that to get access to the firearm,” she told the ABC.
“What I’ve asked for is a review of our policies and processes around this to understand how we can tighten this.
“We need to tighten it, we cannot have this happen again.”
Beau Lamarre-Condon is yet to enter a plea to his two charges of murder. The Sydney man will next face court in April.

Two NSW police officers have been pulled from active duty and had their guns removed after posting a BeReal with their weapons. The image shows a female officer pointing her handgun at a male officer who held his gun to his head. An investigation is underway.
I wish I was surprised.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Calling people 'haters' for asking you to do your job?
This coming from the same woman who called a premeditated murder carried out by a cop with a history of concerning behaviour a 'crime of passion'.

Finally a peice that talks about how 5 of the 6 in the people killed in the sydney stabbings were women. And yes he was mentally ill but he felt entitled to a girlfriend.
By Victoria Smith 16 April, 2024
Did Joel Cauchi, the man who killed six people in a Sydney shopping centre, do so because he was mentally ill? Or did he do it because he hated women?
Five out of six of Cauchi’s victims were women, which does seem targeted. Nonetheless, according to his family, Cauchi, 40, “battled with mental health issues since he was a teenager”. For this reason, some have found talk of misogyny unseemly, if not exploitative. To categorise Cauchi’s act as male violence against women, if not terrorism underpinned by misogynist ideology, can be appear dismissive of genuine sickness. Sometimes, bad things just happen because people are unwell. 
For women who live with men who have severe mental health diagnoses, there is little comfort in discussions such as these. On the one hand, there is an enormous amount of pressure to downplay the idea that mentally ill men are more likely to be violent than other men (they are, but to say so is viewed as contributing to stigma). On the other hand, is it fair for a man with severe mental illness to be judged by the same moral standards as other men? Shouldn’t we be recognising that they cannot control their perceptions and fears?
See rest of article
The Sydney attacker was desperate for a girlfriend, his family has revealed as police confirmed that he had targeted women.
Joel Cauchi killed five women and one man during a knife attack on the Bondi Junction Westfield shopping centre on Saturday.
Karen Webb, the New South Wales police commissioner, said: “The videos speak for themselves. It’s obvious the offender had focused on women and avoided the men.”
The majority of the 12 people Cauchi seriously wounded were female, including a baby girl.
Andrew Cauchi, his father, said on Monday he knew why his mentally unwell son had targeted women. The 76-year-old told reporters outside his home in Queensland: “Because he wanted a girlfriend and he’s got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain.”
Describing his son as “very sick”, he described trying to deal with the feelings of “loving a monster”.
A “heroic” policewoman who stopped a lone knifeman mid-rampage during a killing spree in a Sydney shopping centre has been named.
In one of several heroic attempts to disarm the attacker on Saturday, Amy Scott, a NSW Police Inspector, walked up calmly behind the attacker and ordered him to drop his weapon.
When he refused to do so and lunged at her with a knife, she shot him.
Six people were killed after the culprit – later identified by police as Queensland man Joel Cauchi – went on a stabbing spree in Westfield Bondi Junction, including a mother whose baby is reportedly now in a critical condition.
“She is certainly a hero. There is no doubt that she saved lives through her action,” Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, said on Saturday.

I have not been able to stop thinking about those poor boys, Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
I know so much evil happens in the world and so much happens and tragedy is always around us (unfortunately) but this has really hit me so differently to anything else lately. I just can’t get over the fact that, not only have NSW Police been so casual about this entire thing and clearly not done their part regarding one of their own, the ACTUAL PERPETRATOR, regarding his very evil past and prior stalkings of celebrities and Jesse himself, and sweeping it all under the rug for him to be in the force, but also the way some people are so nasty and angry online towards this community with such homophobic comments and how we don’t matter, we are just scum. I’m falling into a bit of a sad state and I hate it.
Those two boys deserved better and should still be alive. This should never have happened.

still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the NSW POLICE COMMISSIONER actually said ‘Haters gonna hate’ in response to genuine valid criticism to the mishandling of the case where 2 gay men were murdered by a police officer (also a gay man) with a police issued gun. [read more]
like. in what fucking world did she think that was an okay thing to say?? and now she’s pushed the sydney mardi gras board to let the nsw cops march in the parade (not in uniform). even the federal police read the room and decided to not march.
the more i see on the whole thing the clearer the fuckups become.

Terror plotter's brother charged over toddler gun photo
By AAP Newswire
Aug 1, 2023
Tumblr media
Esau Namoa has been arrested in Sydney, after police found a picture of a toddler holding a gun -PR Handout Image
Investigations into one of Sydney's many recent shootings have led police to uncover a disturbing photo of a toddler holding a Glock-style pistol.
Esau Namoa was charged with 13 offences after a police raid at a property in Yagoona in the city's southwest early on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old is the younger brother of Alo-Bridget Namoa who was convicted in 2018 of plotting a terrorist act and once described herself and husband Sameh Bayda as a jihadi Bonnie and Clyde.
Esau Namoa was allegedly pictured holding weapons alongside the young child, who is believed by police to be about three-years-old.
Task Forces Magnus Commander, Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Weinstein said the images were among the worst he had seen in his policing career.
"Quite frankly the images that were on his individuals's phone are appalling and very disturbing," he said.
Last week police created Task Force Magnus to tackle escalating violence and underworld murders across Sydney.
The images of the toddler surfaced during investigations into the shooting death of 24-year-old Marvin Oraiha, who was gunned down in the driveway of his Elizabeth Hills home in May.
As part of their inquiries, in July police raided seven properties across Sydney and seized a number of items, including a ballistic vest, ammunition and six mobile phones.
Detectives located several images on the phones allegedly showing Namoa holding two pistols in the company of the child, who was holding a third pistol.
As a result police arrested Namoa and charged him with a string of firearms-related offences, including possessing an unauthorised pistol, not keeping a firearm safely, and supplying a pistol to a person unauthorised to possess it.
Under Task Force Magnus, police conducted over 300 inspections of known persons over the weekend, arresting 25 people on about 80 charges ranging from minor drug offences to possessing ammunition.
Minister for police and counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley said those responsible for criminal activity on Sydney streets will feel the full force of the law.
"We're already seeing results and Task Force Magnus is just warming up," she said.
"We will work with NSW Police to ensure they has everything they need to put an end to this senseless, intolerable violence and ensure the people of Sydney feel safe where they live."
