October 19th 2024.
Robyn Hill, the widow of camper Russell Hill, revealed her relief upon hearing that the man responsible for her husband's death had been sentenced to 32 years in prison for the murder of Carol Clay. Even though Gregory Lynn was acquitted of Russell's death, Robyn felt that justice had finally been served.
In an interview with 9News, Robyn shared her elation after leaving the courtroom. She stated, "We were all over the moon because we couldn't have asked for a better outcome." This outcome was especially significant for Robyn, who had feared that Lynn would get away with murder.
Despite admitting to hiding and burning the bodies of Russell and Clay in Victoria's high country, Lynn claimed that their deaths were an accident when questioned by the police in 2021. However, the jury saw through his lies and found him guilty of Clay's murder beyond reasonable doubt.
During the sentencing, Justice Michael Croucher acknowledged the pain that Russell's family had endured throughout the trial. This brought Robyn to tears, along with others in the courtroom. Justice Croucher also expressed his sympathy for the loved ones of Russell, who were left in a state of uncertainty due to Lynn's acquittal for his murder.
Robyn and those close to Russell were both shocked and relieved when Lynn's 32-year sentence was announced. However, there is a possibility that Lynn may appeal the sentence, leaving Robyn unsure if she will have to return to court.
Despite her husband's affair with Clay, Robyn still misses him deeply. She stated, "I knew about Carol, and I have nothing against her. She was a very nice lady." Robyn also expressed her desire to move on from this tragic event.
When asked about Lynn's apology for covering up the deaths, Robyn stated, "He's not sorry. You can say sorry, but you're guilty. An innocent person wouldn't apologize." She believes that Lynn's actions after the deaths, such as hiding and burning the bodies, prove that he is an evil person.
