Police are investigating footage that appears to show a man carrying a stake and a yellow jerry can less than two hours before the deaths of a Mount Waverley couple.
The vision, made public on Thursday evening, appears to depict 34-year-old Ross Judd leaving a Bunnings Warehouse in Notting Hill at around 8pm on Monday.
The store is just over a kilometre from Adrienne Crescent, where the bodies of 39-year-old Athena Georgopoulos, who was five months pregnant, and her partner Andrew Gunn, 50, were found later that night.
It is understood items similar to those seen in the footage were located at the crime scene.
Mr Judd allegedly visited a bottle shop and a McDonald’s in the hours following the incident before being arrested at Westall train station. He was accompanied by his two German shepherds, which are now in RSPCA care.
Mr Judd, who had been living in a tent in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs, has been charged with two counts of murder and will face court again early next year.
Ms Georgopoulos’ mother, Petty, paid tribute to her daughter online, writing: “Everything went out in one night, cutting the thread of your life and my granddaughter who would’ve been born in four months. I will always love you forever.”
