Russell Hill and Carol Clay’s families have criticised the evidence prosecutors were permitted to show jurors, as they expressed devastation and relief at the two verdicts. The couple went missing while camping together in the Wonnangatta, Victoria’s alpine region, in March 2020.
Greg Lynn found guilty of one count of murder. Former airline pilot Greg Lynn was charged with two counts of murder and faced a weeks-long trial at the Supreme Court in Melbourne. He pleaded not guilty and claimed both deaths were accidental, but admitted burning down the crime scene, as well as moving and destroying the bodies of the two campers. A jury of 12 deliberated for seven days and returned a split verdict on Tuesday, finding him guilty of Clay’s murder but not guilty of Hill’s.
