Lamarre-Condon speaking

By Millie Roberts

The accused says he met Baird in October 2022.

Bank records both Baird and Lamarre-Condon made transactions at LGBT+ club Universal on October 21.

"We didn't start romantically dating until December," he says.

"Meeting up with someone for a sexual encounter is very different from going on a date," he says.

They would meet at his house, and in December they would meet up "often", less so the month before, he says.

"We were definitely seeing each other in December."

Tense scenes on Monday

By Millie Roberts

It has been at times tense between Lamarre-Condon and Hatfield, as the Crown prosecutor presses him on his version of events.

The accused on Tuesday was argumentative as Hatfield suggested he was lying on certain recollections and influencing a witness.

He rebutted by saying vital people hadn't been brought before the court, and claimed the jury hadn't been shown key moments in evidence.

At other points, Lamarre-Condon would tear up and become emotional as he spoke about suicide attempts and Jesse Baird's death.
