Jurors to consider verdicts in double murder trial of alleged camper killer Greg Lynn

Mr Lynn is accused of murdering retirees Russell Hill , 74, and Carol Clay , 73, in Victoria's High Country in March 2020.Jurors in the double murder trial of alleged camper killer Greg Lynn have been sent out to consider their verdicts.

As he finalised his instructions on Friday, Justice Michael Croucher told jurors the circumstances of the case meant there was "one narrow path to a unanimous verdict of guilty, but any number of paths to a unanimous verdict of not guilty"."Take as little or as much time as you need," the judge said.

Prosecutors allege Mr Lynn killed the pair at the campsite they shared in Victoria's Wonnangatta Valley in March 2020 with murderous intent. However, they argued the steps Mr Lynn took to cover up his involvement afterwards — including setting fire to the retirees' campsite, moving their bodies, then later burning and scattering their remains — were undertaken because Mr Lynn he believed he murdered them.Defence lawyers argued the prosecution case had "bumbled and stumbled" into a state of hopelessness, while their case had become stronger and stronger.
