Fourteen jurors have been discharged in the murder trial of an airline captain accused of killing missing campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay at a campsite in Victoria’s alpine region.
Greg Lynn, 57, pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and a jury was empanelled in Melbourne’s Supreme Court yesterday.
Lawyers from both sides were due to open their cases this morning, however Justice Michael Croucher informed the six women and eight men they would have to be discharged.
A new panel of jurors will be chosen on Monday morning.
The trial is set to last for between four and six weeks, and jurors will be tasked with coming to a unanimous verdict about whether Lynn is guilty of two counts of murder.
