Shocking verdict in trial of murdered campers
The jury have been split during Greg Lynn's trial, where he was accused of murdering campers Carol Clay and Russell Hill in March 2020.
The 57-year-old faced a five-week trial in the Supreme Court, in which he pleaded not guilty to both counts of murder.
During the trial, Lynn said the deaths were accidental, and admitted to destroying their bodies and the crime scene.
However, both prosecutors said he killed both of the campers intentionally and then tried to cover up his crimes.
The 12 jurors began their deliberation on June 17th and emerged seven days later with a shocking verdict.
Lynn was found guilty of the murder of Carol Clay but found innocent of killing Russell Hill in a startling decision.
When asked for a verdict on Hill's murder, the jury's foreperson told the court today "not guilty", and when asked about the murder of Clay, the foreperson replied "guilty".
Lynn was physically shocked by the verdict, raising his eyebrows and remaining silent after the two verdicts were read aloud.
Justice Michael Croucher dismissed the jury before Lynn was taken back to prison, where he will await his sentence.
