Grave concerns had been held for Luke Davies, 29, and his partner and former Ten presenter Jesse Baird, 26, after possessions of theirs were found in a skip bin at Cronulla earlier this week.
Constable Beau Lamarre, who police wished to speak to as part of the investigation, presented himself to Bondi Police Station at about 10.30am today.
Lamarre will be charged with the murders of Davies and Baird today.
Police have found a "projectile" that matches Lamarre's service weapon.
"Charges have been submitted, police will refuse bail," Detective Superintendent Daniel Doherty from State Crime Command's Homicide Squad said.
"Police located a projectile at the premises which had been discharged … this has been ballistically matched to a NSW Police firearm."
The firearm, which was located in a gun safe at a police station after being checked in, has been seized and will undergo forensic analysis.
Investigators have located a white van at Grays Point, in Sydney's south, believed to have been rented by Lamarre on Monday.
Police will allege that the van was used to transport and dispose of the bodies, Doherty said.
"We still need to establish what the cause of death is," he said.
"We need to find the location of the bodies."
Lamarre is expected to face court today or tomorrow, Doherty said.
Police are still trying to establish the exact timeline of the men's deaths.
Lamarre is an ex-partner of Baird and was a former celebrity blogger before joining NSW Police in 2020.
Police said earlier that both Baird and Davies were last seen on Monday, however, the account of one was active on social media on Tuesday night.
Baird's and Davies' possessions were found with blood on them at about 11am on Wednesday in a skip bin outside Club Cronulla on Wilbar Avenue.
They included clothing, an $8000 watch, a wallet and a credit card.
Investigators then attended Baird's home at Brown Street in Paddington, where officers "immediately" established a crime scene after finding a large amount of blood.
"There has been some sort of incident that has occurred at the Paddington address," Detective Superintendent Jodi Radmore said yesterday.
Radmore said witnesses overheard shouting "coming from that vicinity" on Monday morning but did not report it to police.
Police went to Davies' home in Waterloo but he could not be located.
The bank accounts of both men had not been used since their disappearance.
Three cars have been seized as part of the investigation, belonging to both Baird and Davies.
About 11.30pm yesterday, officers investigating the disappearance carried out a search warrant on a home in Waite Avenue, Balmain.
"Officers seized a number of items," police said, in a statement issued early this morning.
"No further information regarding items taken from the property is available at this time."
More to come.
