Sydney's most infamous crooked cop Roger Rogerson is in custody tonight, accused of murder after a 2 day police hunt
IT was in unit 803, a bare brick rented storage room, where Jamie Gao was shot twice in the chest by two former detectives, police will allege.
CCTV footage allegedly shows the ex-cops Roger Rogerson and Glen McNamara walking out of the unit alone just 10 minutes after arriving with Mr Gao last Tuesday.

The next day, May 21, it is alleged the two men returned and spent 40 minutes cleaning the inside of the Rent-A-Space unit after dumping Mr Gao's body at sea using McNamara's 4.5m Quintrex fishing boat.
Police swarm Roger Rogerson's Sydney home, arresting the disgraced former detective in relation to the alleged murder of student Jamie Gao.
The shocking details of the young student's last moments emerged as Rogerson, the country's most infamous former police officer, yesterday afternoon limped into the dock at Bankstown Local Court during a special late sitting, charged with murdering the 20-year-old a week ago.
Rogerson, 73, was not required to say anything as his lawyer, Paul Kenny, told magistrate Eaine Truscott he would not be applying for bail. Rogerson was remanded in custody to appear at Central Local Court on July 22, the same day as his co-accused, former Kings Cross detective

Glen McNamara, 55, who was arrested late on Sunday.
Rogerson had been planning to attend Sydney Police Centre at lunchtime to hand himself in but more than a dozen officers from the elite Serious Crime and Robbery Squad stormed his Padstow home at around 11am yesterday.
They surrounded the house, climbing over the back fence to make sure Rogerson could not escape.
Less than 10 minutes later he was brought out of his house in handcuffs before an awaiting media scrum.
"We're back to the Gestapo days now," Rogerson said as he was escorted by detectives through the pack.

After two senior detectives flew to Brisbane on Monday to find him, the decorated former Armed Hold-up Squad officer is believed to have driven through the night to get home from Brisbane to see his wife Anne Melocco before his arrest.
He arrived home just before dawn yesterday. His wife is said to be "shattered" by events.
Rogerson had spent the weekend in Brisbane at a speaking engagement with the former bodyguard of notorious Melbourne crook Chopper Read. Read, a fellow author who had shared the speaking circuit with Rogerson, died late last year.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal it will be alleged Mr Gao, a University of Technology, Sydney business student, told friends last Tuesday morning, May 20, that he was going to meet a person called "Glen".
McNamara was allegedly captured on CCTV footage using a Telstra public payphone to call Mr Gao, who drove from his Hurstville home to the meeting on Arab St, Padstow.
There he met two unidentified Asian men at 1.40pm.
The Asian men left and have not been found.
CCTV footage allegedly shows Mr Gao meeting Rogerson and McNamara as the student carried a bag containing 3.1kg of methamphetamine, worth $3 million.

Rogerson and McNamara have also been charged with supplying a commercial quantity of the drug.
Police will allege the three men drove to the storage block just 600m from where they met.
After allegedly shooting Mr Gao dead and putting his body in the back of McNamara's white station wagon, CCTV footage shows them carrying chairs out of the unit and putting them in the back of the wagon.
When they allegedly returned early afternoon the next day to clean out the unit, they were seen unloading some chairs back into the unit.

When police seized McNamara's boat from a storage unit at Caringbah on Sunday evening, following his arrest in Kyeemagh, there were signs that it had been used "recently", it is claimed.
Police yesterday confirmed the body pulled from the sea off Cronulla early on Monday morning was that of Mr Gao.
The body was found wrapped in a blue tarpaulin and tied with ropes and chains.

A post-mortem has not yet been completed.
Rogerson and McNamara had met while they were both in the NSW police in the early 1980s. As police continue to investigate the recent links between them and Mr Gao, Rogerson appeared in court at 4.10pm yesterday with only the media there.

There were no family or friends at the court to support him.
Like McNamara, he will be kept in protective custody at Silverwater Jail.
His lawyer Mr Kenny asked that Rogerson be given access to medication, including Voltaren, for a variety of ailments he suffers, including pain after a recent knee reconstruction and a heart condition.
Ms Truscott ordered police to serve the brief of evidence on Mr Kenny by July 8.
