A detective leading the double murder investigation told a jury of Beau Lamarre-Condon's demeanour in the days after the deaths.
Detective Sasha Pinazza said Mr Lamarre-Condon appeared emotional and told police "I'm not a bad person".
The court also heard Mr Lamarre-Condon expressed hope of one day talking to the families of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.
Accused double murderer Beau Lamarre-Condon became emotional and told police that he was "not a bad person" after revealing the location where he left the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, a jury has heard.
The 31-year-old former officer is facing trial on two counts of murder, accused of shooting the couple with his police pistol inside Mr Baird's Paddington share house in February 2024.
Their bodies were discovered in surfboard bags near a monastery in Bungonia, south of Sydney, more than a week after the deaths. Mr Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty and is arguing self-defence.
Jurors in the Supreme Court trial have previously seen body-cam footage of the moment Mr Lamarre-Condon handed himself in at Bondi Police Station four days after the men died.
Detective Sasha Pinazza, the officer in charge of the investigation, was with the accused as he was taken to another station, the court heard on Tuesday.

She advised him that it may be in his best interests to speak to his lawyer regarding the 'no body, no parole' legislation.
"I explained that legislation excluded a person convicted of murder from release on parole in circumstances where the victims had not been located, and the accused had failed to assist," Detective Pinazza said in her statement, which was read to the court.
When he was told that police had information about the men's bodies being in a dam or on a farm near Goulburn, he did not comment and cited legal advice.
The court heard he spoke about having an "outer body experience".
In an interview room, he was crying and became emotional as he talked about mental health and claimed to have PTSD, Detective Pinazza's statement said.
The detective said he claimed previous work-related matters had "messed me up" and said he was sent to Youth Command as punishment.
She recalled the accused stating: "I don't want you to judge me, I'm not a bad person."
He also asked whether police were close to finding the men's bodies.
The court heard that four days later, Detective Pinazza and colleagues attended Silverwater prison and advised the accused that they only wanted to speak to him about the location of the bodies.
After speaking to his lawyer, he said the location was in the same area as a Bungonia farm police had been searching.

Jurors heard that police showed Mr Lamarre-Condon maps on a laptop and he indicated the roads he had travelled to a monastery, before describing its gates.
He was then shown images of a property police believed he had gone to.
"The accused believed to the best of his recollection this to be location where he left the bodies of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies," Detective Pinazza said in her statement.
"The accused was emotional and implored that he was not a bad person."
He also asked to wait while investigators attended the location.
"The accused expressed a hope that he would one day be able to talk to Jesse and Luke's families," her statement recorded.
"He was emotional and stated, 'I'm not that person'."
That day, police located the bodies near the entrance of a monastery in surfboard bags, partially covered by sticks and rocks.
The court has previously heard he allegedly attempted to sink the bags in a dam at a Bungonia farm, using quick-set cement and weights, after transporting them in a white hire van.
The jury has heard evidence about his movements in the week of the alleged murders, which the Crown alleges involved deliberate steps to cover up his involvement in the deaths.
Mr Lamarre-Condon's lawyers have indicated that his case will be that he "panicked" after two separate struggles involving the gun, which resulted in the two deaths.
The Crown is expected to close its case shortly in the trial, which is now in its seventh week.
The trial is expected to run for three months
