The former pilot plans to appeal his conviction for the murder of Carol Clay, while being acquitted of killing Russell Hill.

  • Greg Lynn, a former airline pilot, was sentenced to 32 years in prison for the murder of Carol Clay, with a minimum of 24 years before parole eligibility.
  • The jury found Lynn guilty of shooting Carol Clay in the head but acquitted him of murdering Russell Hill, her camping partner, in Victoria's High Country.
  • Justice Michael Croucher described the murder as 'violent, brutal, horrific,' and expressed emotional acknowledgment of the victims' families' suffering.
  • Lynn's legal team has indicated plans to appeal the conviction, arguing that the jury's decision was inconsistent and based on insufficient evidence.
