A pilot is on trial for allegedly murdering a couple who were camping and then hiding their bodies.

On a Tuesday morning in Melbourne, a 57-year-old pilot named Greg Lynn stood before a jury as he faced the first day of his double murder trial. Lynn, who had previously worked as a Jetstar pilot, was being charged with two counts of murder for the deaths of campers Carol Clay and Russell Hill in March of 2020. As the prosecutor, Daniel Porceddu, began to outline his case against Lynn, he made some shocking allegations about the pilot's actions.

According to the prosecution, Lynn had been camping in the same area as Mr. Hill and Mrs. Clay, who happened to be childhood sweethearts. The prosecutor claimed that on the evening of March 20, 2020, at Bucks Camp, Lynn had murdered the couple. However, the exact details of the killings were unknown, and the motive was still a mystery.

One possible motive, according to the prosecution, was that Mr. Hill's drone had captured a dispute between him and Lynn. This footage was said to have been later deleted and destroyed by the accused. Mr. Porceddu also suggested that there might have been an argument or confrontation between the two men, leading to the tragic events that followed.

The prosecutor went on to say that it was unclear how Mr. Hill had been killed, but evidence showed that Mrs. Clay had been shot in the head. He believed that Mr. Hill had most likely been killed first, as Mrs. Clay would have been able to call for help with her radio skills if she had been alive. Lynn was accused of making significant efforts to contaminate the scene, hide evidence, and distance himself from the crime.

The prosecution alleged that Lynn had moved the bodies of Mr. Hill and Mrs. Clay into his car trailer, set fire to their tent and camping items, and an area near Mr. Hill's LandCruiser to cover up any evidence. He also took their cash, phones, and Mr. Hill's drone before packing up his campsite and driving off with the bodies. Lynn then drove for hours along four-wheel-drive tracks until he reached a secluded spot near Dargo, where he allegedly hid the bodies in the bush.

According to the prosecutor, Lynn returned to the burial site after the COVID-19 lockdown ended to ensure that the bodies were still hidden. In the months that followed, he reportedly tried to sell his trailer, repainted his car, and removed the awning to avoid detection.

As the prosecutor finished his two-hour presentation, Lynn's barrister, Dermot Dann KC, was ready to deliver his response to the allegations. It was a shocking and disturbing case, with many unanswered questions and a tragic loss of life. The trial would continue, and the truth would eventually come to light.
