An affair, a hunting trip and two people dead at a high country camp: how the Greg Lynn case unfolded – a timelineThe jury also asked Croucher to repeat the instruction regarding reaching a unanimous verdict and what happened if it was unable to reach a unanimous decision..

“And if you were not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Lynn murdered Mr Hill, the prosecution accepts, rightly, that there would be no motive for him then to murder Mrs Clay.”Russell Hill , 74, and Carol Clay, 73, died during a camping trip in the Wonnangatta Valley area of Victoria’s high country in March 2020.Croucher told the jury the law did not require the prosecution to prove motive but had to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, four elements of murder for a guilty verdict.

Prosecutors have alleged Hill was killed first, by unknown means, and that Clay was later shot in the head. Crown prosecutor Daniel Porceddu previously said Lynn then killed Clay because she was a witness in the violent murder of Hill.
