In January 2023, the Melbourne Magistrates Court determined that there was enough evidence for Gregory Lynn to face trial. However, the prosecution was barred from presenting much of their evidence, including covert recordings they had made of Lynn and portions of his multi-day interview at Sale Police Station.

Nor were the jury permitted to hear about Gregory Lynn's alleged violence towards his first wife or her mysterious death. Lynn's trial began in Victoria's Supreme Court in May 2024. The prosecution outlined their case, alleging Lynn shot Carol Clay in the head and killed Russell Hill by unknown means on Friday March 20 2020 at Buck's camp.

The prosecution believed the murders had taken place in the reverse manner to Lynn's claims, with Russell likely killed first and Carol then eliminated as a witness. Witnesses described discovering the burnt campsite, while police detailed evidence from phone towers, surveillance footage and interviews. Experts testified about bone fragments, bullet trajectories, DNA and insect larvae.

Russell Hill's wife, Robyn, gave poignant testimony. Due to limited mobility, she sat in the media box rather than the podium. Robyn recalled listening for Russell's nightly radio calls and growing alarmed when his voice went silent on Saturday March 21. Her composure remained intact as she recalled realising her husband was missing and the subsequent tabloid coverage exposing his affair.

Robin was stoic as she testified, jotting down details in a notebook. After four weeks of prosecution testimony from 49 witnesses, the defence called just one witness, Gregory Stuart Lynn. It is rare for an accused murderer to take the stand given the risks of cross-examination. However, the move signalled confidence in Lynn's ability to present his version of events and create reasonable doubt.

Speaking softly and precisely, Lynn described the deaths as accidental. He repeated his claims of the fight over the gun, Carol being shot, and Russell falling on his own knife almost word for word as he had in his police station confession. He apologised to the victim's families, acknowledging his actions to conceal the deaths were despicable, but maintaining his innocence regarding murder.

I'm very sorry for your suffering, he said. The prosecution highlighted the few inconsistencies in Lynn's account, including conflicting descriptions of the weapon involved and the implausibility of his story about a struggle across Russell's vehicle. a photo showed a guy rope attached to the car that would have obstructed the alleged fight. Lin calmly stated he didn't remember the rope.

He might have slipped under it, he said, but he never noticed it. When pressed on why he hadn't called for help or come forward sooner, Lin said he was paralysed by fear and hoped the situation would blow over. He admitted his actions destroyed his career and family, but remained adamant he was not guilty of murder, saying, I'm guilty of other things, but not murder.
