Gregory Lynn found guilty of murdering Carol Clay in missing campers case

A jury has found former pilot Gregory Lynn guilty of murdering Carol Clay in the case of the missing campers after a five-week trial.

For almost the entirety of the trial, Lynn sat composed at the back of the courtroom, expressionless and wearing the same suit, shirt and tie. Lynn then stood for the jury for the final time, as he had done each time he entered and exited the courtroom over the past six weeks. As the jury left the room, he watched on, raising his eyebrows as he sat.During the trial, Lynn admitted to destroying Hill and Clay’s campsite deep in the Wonnangatta Valley and disposing of their remains but claimed he did so in a panic because he knew he would be blamed for their deaths and needed to protect his family, lifestyle and career.

Giving evidence in the trial, Lynn said he noticed that Hill had come over to his unlocked car and taken a shotgun from the back seat and a magazine of ammunition from the front, before starting to walk back to his own campsite. The pair then wrestled and fell to the ground, with the black-handled kitchen knife sticking into Hill’s chest.

Hill and Clay’s disappearance sparked a 20-month-long investigation. Police identified 12 cars as being in the same area as the last ping from Hill’s mobile phone the day after the murders.When police first knocked on the door of his Caroline Springs home in July 2020, they noticed the car had been painted beige.
