Accused camper killer to seek bail again ahead of retrial

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 01:55 · Archive

Greg Lynn, a former pilot charged with murdering camper Carol Clay in 2020, will apply for bail for a second time.

Greg Lynn, 60, a former Jetstar pilot, is charged with the murder of Carol Clay, 73, who went missing from Victoria's High Country while camping in March 2020. Ms Clay was camping with her friend Russell Hill, 74. Lynn has maintained his innocence, claiming her death was an accident.

Lynn's first bail application was rejected in March when Justice David Beach found he had not demonstrated exceptional circumstances to warrant his release into the community. He will now make a second bail application on October 22, with Chief Justice Richard Niall expected to hear the application.

Lynn was granted a retrial in December after an appeal court found he had suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice in his first trial. The retrial is scheduled to begin on May 24, 2027 before Justice Michael O'Connell.
