Carol Clay

Carol Clay was a 73-year-old woman who died in 2020 in the Victorian high country. Her death is newsworthy because Greg Lynn, a former airline pilot, was initially convicted of her murder in June of last year, though acquitted of murdering her companion, Russell Hill. Lynn was sentenced to a minimum of 24 years in prison. However, the conviction for Clay's murder has since been overturned by the state's highest court. Lynn now faces a retrial. He is seeking bail to live with his son pending an application for a permanent stay in the case. The case remains significant due to the high-profile nature of the alleged crime and the legal complexities surrounding the investigation and prosecution.
