Former airline pilot Greg Lynn, accused of the March 2020 murder of 73-year-old Carol Clay in Victoria’s Wonnangatta Valley, has had his bail applications denied by the Supreme Court.

In his testimony, Lynn alleged he has been subjected to “draconian” prison conditions and multiple attacks, including being spat on and having a container of human faeces thrown at him. He claimed his notoriety as a high-profile defendant necessitated periods of solitary confinement and expressed fears that certain inmates might be informants with an “agenda” to lie about him.

Chief Justice Richard Niall rejected the bail request, with Crown prosecutor Mark Gibson, KC, suggesting that Lynn’s isolation in custody appeared to be a personal choice. Lynn maintains his innocence and is scheduled to face trial next year.
