Australian pilot’s murder conviction overturned on appeal

An Australian pilot, Greg Lynn, has had his murder conviction for the 2020 death of 73-year-old Carol Clay overturned and will face a retrial due to “serious irregularities” in the original trial, as ruled by the Court of Appeal. Lynn was previously sentenced to a minimum of 24 years in prison but claimed the deaths resulted from accidental struggles over a weapon. He has been remanded in custody and will appear in court again on January 28. The case drew significant public attention and involved a major missing person investigation.
