Prosecutors are attempting to discredit Greg Lynn’s account of the demise of two elderly campers during closing arguments of his double murder trial.
"The most extreme of these actions is the burning of the bodies of Mr Hill and Mrs Clay eight months after they were murdered," he said. Central to the case is a night-time dispute that unfolded between the two men, which Mr Lynn's lawyers argue resulted in separate fatal, accidental struggles involving Mr Lynn's gun and a knife.
Jurors were previously shown Greg Lynn's 12-gauge Barathrum Arms shotgun, which he alleges killed Carol Clay following a struggle.But Mr Porceddu argued the existence of a rope running between the elderly couple's vehicle and a portable camping toilet was "the house of cards" around which the accused's account of the struggle fell apart.
"During that time, the accused was able to gather through the media an understanding of the evidence that was emerging."Campers, hunters and workers in the Wonnangatta Valley have been called into the witness box as the trial has unfolded over about four weeks.
