Bedsit explosion
Detectives arrested Mr Farmer after he walked into Lewisham police station in the early hours of Monday.
He was initially taken to hospital, under guard, for treatment to serious burns to his hands and arms.
The badly burned bodies of Mr Ferez and Mr Bonomo were found on 29 June, following an explosion in the ground-floor bedsit in Sterling Gardens.
They had been bound, gagged and sustained hundreds of stab wounds between them, before being set alight.
Forensic searches at the severely damaged ground-floor property in Sterling Gardens could continue for several weeks.
Detectives have previously said the students may have been attacked by more than one assailant.
