Magistrate Daniel Covington allowed the family to watch remotely as he adjourned Lamarre-Condon’s matter until August, when the charges will be certified ahead of a potential trial.
Lamarre-Condon’s lawyer John Walford told reporters outside the Downing Centre that the ex-police officer was “going OK under the circumstances”.
“He’s coping. It’s tough for him as well,” said Walford.
Lamarre-Condon has yet to enter a plea.
“He may [rely on mental health grounds]; it may go to trial,” Walford said.
Walford said Lamarre-Condon planned to sue NSW Police.
“I think it’s starting, a civil suit against NSW Police. There’s a lot involved, a young police officer in the police force for a fair while. He’s got some issues, they’ll sort it out in the civil courts.”
Police allege Lamarre-Condon, in the days following his arrest, had refused to say where the bodies of the two men had been dumped.
Investigators believed a rural property with a dam, outside Bungonia near Goulburn, had been Lamarre-Condon’s alleged dumping ground, but the searches were fruitless.
