Carol Clay's family faces murderer Greg Lynn who is described as evil and wicked.

For nearly two years, the family and friends of Carol Clay were overcome with worry and fear as they tirelessly searched for the missing grandmother. Carol had disappeared while camping in the remote Victorian wilderness and her daughter, Emma Davies, was determined to find her despite facing numerous challenges, including COVID-19 restrictions. Sadly, she was unable to physically go to the location where her mother was last seen alive. Emma shared her heartbreaking story in the Supreme Court of Melbourne today, saying, "I longed to go to the place where my mother was lost, to feel the earth beneath my feet and the river against my skin, hoping to find answers."

However, there was one man who knew exactly where Carol was. Greg Lynn had not only shot her in the head but had also moved and concealed the bodies of Carol and her lover, Russell Hill, near a remote bush track. He then returned seven months later to burn their remains into more than 2000 bone fragments. Shockingly, Lynn kept the location of the bodies a secret for 20 months. The devastation and heartbreak of Carol's sister, Jillian Walker, were immeasurable as she listened to the details of how Lynn had destroyed her sister's remains. She tearfully told the court, "This was my dear sister, who was treated like a piece of meat, shot, transported, buried, and burned. It was all done with complete intention to hide a crime, with no regard for the human lives he destroyed. It was not just a bad decision, it was evil and wicked."

During the murder trial, Lynn's story emerged that Carol's death happened after an argument over Russell using a drone. To the family and friends of Carol, it was incomprehensible and horrific. Emma said, "There was no valid reason for my mother's death. It was senseless and pointless. She was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time." In court, Emma refused to say Lynn's name, instead referring to him as "he" or "him". She bravely stated, "He stole my mother from me. He took her life, her dignity, and her privacy. He destroyed her beyond recognition."

As Lynn sat in court, he stared at each of his victims' family and friends as they shared their pain and suffering. He was found guilty of Carol's murder by a jury in June, but not guilty of killing Russell. However, he did admit to destroying the couple's remains. Now, Lynn is appealing his guilty verdict and his lawyers are seeking to delay his sentence using a rare legal move. Prosecutor Daniel Porceddu argued that Lynn deserved a life sentence for the "cold-blooded and callous" murder of a vulnerable elderly woman. He added that Lynn was motivated to kill Carol because she was the only witness to Russell's death. Porceddu stated, "If Carol had lived, she would have been able to identify the offender."

The prosecutor also emphasized that Lynn's attempts to destroy all evidence, including the bodies, only added to the anguish of Carol's loved ones. Lynn's defense team will present their arguments today as the pre-sentence hearing continues before Justice Michael Croucher. The pain and suffering caused by Lynn's actions will never be forgotten by Carol's family and friends. They hope that justice will be served for her senseless and tragic death.
