Celebrity-blogger-turned-cop Lamarre-Condon, 28, was charged with two counts of murder as he appeared in Waverley Local Court on Friday afternoon.
Police will allege he shot Channel 10 presenter Baird and his boyfriend Davies with his police pistol at Mr Baird’s home in Paddington, in Sydney’s inner east.
Amid the news, Big Brother star Anthony, 33, took to her Instagram Stories to post a old photograph of herself with Lamarre-Condon.
In the since-deleted Story, she re-shared an old photograph from when she met Lamarre-Condon at the Elle Style Awards in 2014, before he joined the police force.

Prior to becoming a police officer, Lamarre-Condon was a celebrity blogger who was known for taking selfies with stars including Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga.
Lamarre-Condon faced Waverley Local Court on Friday afternoon, sitting in the dock in a black T-shirt after he handed himself into police at Bondi.
He only looked up briefly to acknowledge the magistrate in court on Friday, and had no-one in court, either family or friends, to support him during his short appearance.
He has been charged with two counts of murder. He did not apply for bail and was ordered to reappear in court on April 23.

According to court documents, Baird and Davies were both allegedly killed by Lamarre-Condon at Paddington between 12.01am and 5.30pm on Monday.
The shooting occurred just hours after they were last seen alive at a pre-Mardi Gras party night on Sunday at the Beresford Hotel in Surry Hills.
Later on Monday evening, Lamarre-Condon hired a white Toyota HiAce van from Mascot and allegedly used it to dispose of the couple’s bodies, police said.
Detectives believe Lamarre-Condon then returned the alleged murder weapon to a police station’s locked firearms safe on Tuesday.
Lamarre-Condon took sick leave from the NSW Police Force for the rest of the day and failed to return to work on Wednesday.
Bloodied clothes and other belongings including credit cards belonging to former Studio 10 staffer Baird, 26, and Davies, 29, were found dumped in a skip bin in Cronulla on Wednesday.
The discovery led police to Baird’s home in Paddington, where pools of blood and blood-spattered furniture were found – sparking grave fears for the couple.

Homicide Squad commander Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty said police had matched a bullet cartridge found in the premises to a police weapon.
‘Police located a projectile at the premises which had been discharged and also a fired cartridge case,’ Det Supt Doherty said.
‘This has now been physically matched to a NSW Police firearm and forms part of the evidence for the alleged facts to face court for this 28-year-old man.’
The bodies of Baird and Davies are yet to be found.
