The couple accused of murdering rapper Jett McKee allegedly hid in a laneway near the scene of the crime as police launched and air and ground search for them.
Blake Davis, 28, and Hannah Quinn, 23, handed themselves in Monday evening following the incident in Forest Lodge, in Sydney’s inner-west, last Friday afternoon.
Police alleged the couple murdered the former IT worker after he broke into their home, with Mr McKee allegedly punching Davis in the head before fleeing on foot, Nine News reported.
Detectives are unsure what Mr McKee wanted from the couple, who they say were not known to him, when he attempted to rob their house in broad daylight.

Police allegedly found $21,000 in the alcove used by the couple, who were earlier allegedly victims of a failed robbery at the hands of the former IT worker (Blake Davis pictured)
In the alcove used by the pair following their alleged murder, $21,000 was allegedly found along with a fake gun.
In chilling new details, a balaclava-clad Mr McKee, whose stage name was Scepaz, allegedly administered a hard punch to Davis, injuring his face, before fleeing.
As he ran from the home along Hereford Street, Quinn allegedly caught him before bringing him to the ground, with Davis approaching shortly after with a sword.
Davis allegedly struck the fatal blow to Mr McKee, who was on his hands and knees at the time, before he and Quinn ran home and changed their clothes.
Mr McKee died a short distance away in the middle of the road at Hereford Street and Minogue Crescent, with a balaclava, fake gun and knuckledusters found nearby.

Police will allege the couple went home to change and dump the alleged murder weapon before fleeing once again to an alcove near Alfred Road.
Cash was later found at the alcove used by the couple, police will allege, but it is unknown if they had the amount the whole time, or collected it after the stabbing.
Police allegedly found a fake gun as well as the large sum of money in the laneway.
Mr McKee had allegedly recently racked up large gambling debts, Seven News reported.
Both Quinn and Davis have been charged with murder. Quinn did not apply for bail in court on Tuesday, nor did Davis when he fronted court on Monday.

Davis’ solicitor Sherleen Chand said his injuries were ‘quite significant’ and he would plead not guilty – his case was adjourned to October 9.
One of Quinn’s supporters told media outside court Tuesday, ‘Thank you so much for your interest and support but please respect the privacy of the family.’
Neighbours heard arguing between McKee and another man and woman, before he staggered out the front of the house with a ‘massive’ head wound last Friday.
Emergency services were called but McKee was dead by the time they arrived.
Since his passing, members of the hip-hop community have remembered him as an ‘awesome soul’.
