Breaking: Accused killer Greg Lynn applies for bail
Greg Lynn, convicted in 2024 for the murder of Carol Clay, applies for bail ahead of a retrial for the murder of Russell Hill after his previous conviction was overturned due to trial irregularities.
Greg Lynn, a former Jetstar pilot, has applied for bail as he prepares for a retrial concerning the murder of Russell Hill, with the trial set in the context of his previous conviction for the murder of Carol Clay, which has since been overturned. Lynn, who has always claimed his innocence, was initially sentenced to 32 years in prison for Clay's murder after a high-profile Supreme Court trial in which he faced serious allegations regarding the deaths of both campers, who vanished in Victoria's High Country in March 2020. However, in December of last year, the Court of Appeal identified significant irregularities during the trial process which led to a substantial miscarriage of justice, prompting the need for a new trial concerning the murder charge against Hill. As the legal proceedings unfold, Lynn's ongoing claims of innocence and the implications of the decision by the Court of Appeal raise critical questions regarding judicial processes and the rights of defendants in the Australian legal system.
