‘He was selfish’: Greg Lynn covered up deaths because he believed he would be blamed, murder trial told

The prosecution says Greg Lynn’s claim that the Wonnangatta Valley deaths of Russell Hill and Carol Clay were accidental is ‘complete fiction’, while the defence says the prosecution’s case is ‘increasingly desperate’. Photograph: Paul Tyquin/AAP

A former Jetstar pilot accused of murdering two elderly campers in the Victorian high country covered up the deaths because he believed he would be blamed after he incorrectly stored his guns, his defence barrister has told the state’s supreme court.

Gregory Stuart Lynn, 57, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Russell Hill, 74, and Carol Clay, 73, at a remote camping site in the Wonnangatta Valley in March 2020.
