Accused killer to make second bail bid ahead of retrial
Accused killer Greg Lynn will make another bid for freedom ahead of his retrial over the death of a missing camper.
Lynn, 60, is charged with the murder of Carol Clay, 73, who went missing from Victoria's High Country while camping in March 2020 with her friend Russell Hill, 74.
Lynn was granted a retrial in December, with the appeal court finding he had suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice in his first trial.
The former Jetstar pilot sought bail in the Victorian Supreme Court in March, but his application was refused.
Justice David Beach at that time found Lynn had not demonstrated exceptional circumstances to warrant his release into the community.
Lynn will apply for bail a second time on October 22, with Chief Justice Richard Niall expected to hear the application.
The date for his retrial has also been listed to start before Justice Michael O'Connell on May 24, 2027.
Lynn has repeatedly maintained his innocence, claiming Ms Clay's death was an accident.
