Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn denied bail ahead of May murder trial
Greg Lynn, a former Jetstar pilot charged with murdering Carol Clay, has been refused bail and will remain in custody until his trial in May. The decision means his attempt to live with his son while fighting the charge has failed.
Clay, 73, went missing with her friend Russell Hill, 74, from a remote campsite in Victoria in March 2020. Lynn, 59, has been in custody since his arrest in November 2021 and needed to show “exceptional circumstances” to qualify for bail on the murder charge. His son offered his life savings as surety, while Lynn cited harsh prison conditions and an alleged attack; the prosecution argued these grounds did not meet the legal threshold.
In short
- Greg Lynn has been refused bail.
- He will remain in custody until his trial in May.
- His son offered his life savings as surety.
