A Supreme Court jury heard for the first time what Gregory Lynn told police about the death of two campers.
You won’t find Bucks Camp on many maps. It is a small, flat clearing deep within the remote Wonnangatta Valley in Victoria’s High Country, where the only way in and out is by four-wheel drive along a narrow, dirt track.
Crown prosecutor Daniel Porceddu told the jury he didn’t know why Lynn killed the campers or how Hill was killed, but that it was done with murderous intent; Hill first and then Clay, with a shotgun blast to her head, before Lynn set fire to their tent, took their phones and drove their bodies to another location to hide them in the hollow of a fallen tree.
From his Caroline Springs home, Lynn drove through the night to make sure the bodies were still hidden from view, Porceddu told the court. Six months later he returned again. This time, he exhumed and burnt the remains before shovelling them back in the bush. Dann told the jury that it was the fear of being blamed for these tragic accidents, rather than any intentional murder, that prompted Lynn to selfishly and callously cover up what happened at Bucks Camp.
