A NSW senior constable accused of killing two men using his police weapon has been sacked from the force.

Beau Lamarre-Condon, 28, is being held in custody after being charged with murdering Jesse Baird, 26, and Luke Davies, 29, in Sydney’s east last month.

The off-duty officer allegedly used his police-issued gun to kill the couple after entering Baird’s home in inner-city Paddington on February 19.

NSW Police confirmed Lamarre-Condon had been removed from the force on Friday.

“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 statement said.

“Under section 181D of the Police Act 1990, the commissioner has the ability to remove officers if she has lost confidence in their suitability to continue as a police officer.”

The dismissal follows confirmation from NSW Police commissioner Karen Webb on February 28 that Lamarre-Condon had been served with a show cause notice as she moved to have him dismissed.

The bodies of the couple were found inside surfboard bags at the fence line of a rural property in Bungonia near Goulburn, about 200 kilometres south-west of Sydney, more than a week after their deaths.

The deaths of Baird, a former Network Ten TV presenter, and Davies, a Qantas flight attendant, sparked an outpouring of grief.

Police allege that Lamarre-Condon, who was previously in a brief relationship with Baird, plotted to kill him.

Lamarre-Condon is being held at Sydney’s Silverwater Correctional Complex. He is yet to enter a plea to two charges of murder and will return to court in April.
