A verdict but still no answers

justice

Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was found guilty of murdering Carol Clay and acquitted over Russell Hill’s death yesterday, but details about evidence the jury didn’t hear have raised new questions… The bodies of 73yo Clay and 74yo Hill were found at a campsite in Victoria’s High Country in 2020. Nearly 2 years later, Lynn was charged with their murders, and prosecutors said the deaths occurred following a dispute, while the defence claimed it was all an accident. But as soon as the verdict was given, thousands of secret recordings, police interviews, details about Lynn’s character and allegations from his first wife’s family that he was responsible for her death were revealed. As a result, reports say there are lingering questions about what really happened, and Lynn could face further charges over his “despicable” decision to burn the couple’s bodies. The case is due back in court on 19 July to set a date for sentencing.
