Pilot Greg Lynn jailed for 32 years for killing camper

Caroline Springs airline pilot Greg Lynn has been jailed for 32 years for the murder of missing camper Carol Clay.

Lynn, 58, blinked and stared forward as Justice Michael Croucher sentenced him in the Victorian Supreme Court on Friday.

He will be eligible for parole after 24 years.

A jury in June found Lynn guilty of shooting Mrs Clay in the head at a Victorian high country campsite in March 2020.

He then placed her body – and the body of her lover Russell Hill – into a trailer and drove them to a remote bush track.

Lynn returned seven months later after the COVID-19 lockdown lifted to burn their remains into more than 2000 bone fragments.

The former Jetstar pilot maintained his innocence, claiming the deaths of both Mrs Clay and Mr Hill were accidental.

After a month-long trial, the jury found him guilty of murdering Mrs Clay but acquitted him over Mr Hill’s death.

Lynn continues to deny the murder but conceded he destroyed the couple’s remains and much of the campsite’s evidence.
