In the remote Wonnangatta Valley, crime scene examiners found a single piece of skull. That led them to more fragments in the search for Carol Clay and Russell Hill.
Almost two years to the day missing camper Carol Clay was shot in the head in the remote Wonnangatta Valley, crime scene examiners scouring the bush floor found a single fragment of skull.
Lynn, who has pleaded not guilty to murdering Clay, 73, and Russell Hill, 74, as all three camped in the valley on March 20 in 2020, told police both retireesHe says Clay was shot in the head as he and Hill struggled for control of a shotgun after a dispute over a drone. Lynn claims Hill then fell on his own knife during a subsequent scuffle, before the 57-year-old set fire to Hill and Clay’s campsite.
At Union Spur Track, the jury was told forensic experts located two separate areas of interest – one where the bodies of Hill and Clay were burned, and a second,16 metres away, where Lynn used a dustpan to deposit the remnants of the fire. In questioning crime scene examiner Leah Thowless, Dann asked whether it was possible the lead fragment had, in fact, only “arrived” more recently where it was found.
