Senior Constable Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, 28, has been accused of killing his ex-partner, Jesse Baird, 26, and the man’s new boyfriend, Luke Davies, 29.

Here is what we know so far:

The murders

• Lamarre-Condon allegedly enters Baird’s home in inner-Sydney Paddington on February 19.
• Witnesses report hearing gunshots about 9.50am.
• Lamarre-Condon allegedly uses his police-issued firearm checked out from a police station in Sydney’s south two days earlier to murder the couple. Police believe several bullets might have been fired.
• A triple-zero call is made from Baird’s phone at 9.54am, but the call disconnects before anyone speaks.

The aftermath

• Lamarre-Condon allegedly uses Davies’ phone to delete messages and poses as him in texts to throw investigators off track.
• In one message, he allegedly asks the 29-year-old’s flatmates to put his possessions in storage after conjuring an elaborate story that Davies was moving to Perth.
• Lamarre-Condon allegedly makes attempts to clean the crime scene and returns his firearm to Balmain police station, near his mother’s house, on Tuesday. He moves the weapon back to Miranda police station on Wednesday.

The bodies

• Lamarre-Condon hires a white van from Mascot on Monday night. Police allege the Toyota HiAce, seen on CCTV footage outside Baird’s house, was used to move the bodies after the men were killed at Paddington.
• An “innocent friend” travels with Lamarre-Condon in the van to a property in the Southern Tablelands on Wednesday afternoon. They stop in Goulburn to buy an angle grinder and padlock.
• Lamarre-Condon allegedly cuts open a gate and goes alone into a property, returning about 30 minutes later.
• The pair make the two-hour trip back to Sydney.
• Lamarre-Condon allegedly buys weights and returns to the property later on Wednesday night. Police say it is possible he retrieved the bodies and disposed of them somewhere else after becoming suspicious his acquaintance might know what he was up to.
• Lamarre-Condon is seen leaving the area about 4.30am on Thursday for Sydney, before heading to another acquaintance’s property in Newcastle. He allegedly asks for a hose to clean the van.
• He leaves Newcastle about 5am on Friday and drives back to Grays Point, in Sydney’s south, where he leaves the van near a family home.
• Lamarre-Condon allegedly makes “partial admissions” to acquaintances, including a former officer.

The investigation

• Police begin an investigation after the couple’s blood-stained possessions are found in a skip bin in the southern Sydney suburb of Cronulla about 11am on Wednesday. A phone, credit cards, a wallet and a set of keys are discovered.
• Officers declare Baird’s Paddington home, about 30km away, a crime scene after blood is found inside the property.
• Items from a home at Balmain, in Sydney’s inner west, are seized about 11.30pm on Thursday.
• Lamarre-Condon hands himself in at Bondi police station in Sydney’s east soon after 10.30am on Friday. By 3pm, the 28-year-old senior constable is charged with two counts of murder.
• Lamarre-Condon appears in Waverley Local Court in the afternoon, when he makes no application for bail.
• Police divers search a waterway at Lambton, Newcastle, on Saturday.
