Today at Sydney’s Dowling Street Court his representatives filed a 50-page affidavit that outlined to magistrate Daniel Covington that more time would be needed.

Police have alleged that Lamarre-Condon hid the two men’s bodies in the back garden of the home before returning later to move them to a rural location.
