Greg Lynn's murder conviction for death of High Country camper quashed
The Court of Appeal has set aside Greg Lynn's conviction for the murder of elderly camper Carol Clay.
The decision comes about 18 months after a jury returned a split verdict in Mr Lynn's high-profile double murder trial.
Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn has had his murder conviction overturned on appeal, and will face a new trial.
Mr Lynn, 59, was found guilty last year after a high-profile Supreme Court trial of murdering retiree Carol Clay in Victoria's High Country in March 2020.
He was acquitted of the murder of her camping companion, Russell Hill.
Mr Lynn subsequently appealed his sentence and conviction on four key grounds, some of them linked to the prosecution's conduct during the trial's closing arguments, and labelled his 32-year prison sentence "manifestly excessive".
