The legal team representing accused camper killer Greg Lynn will close its case as the double murder trial enters its final days.
The 57-year-old former airline pilot has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder over the deaths of Russell Hill and Carol Clay in a remote part of Victoria’s alpine region in March 2020.

As the Supreme Court jury trial enters week five, prosecutors summed up their case against Lynn on Tuesday.
Lynn has admitted burning the couple’s bodies and setting fire to the crime scene, but claimed the deaths were accidental.
However, prosecutor Daniel Porceddu told the jury that Lynn’s story was a “fanciful” work of fiction, which deliberately pinned Hill as the aggressor.
He described Lynn’s police interview, and evidence to the jury last week, as a made-up “series of unfortunate events”.
“Like a book series of that name, it is a complete fiction,” he told the jury on Tuesday.
Dann is due to continue his closing arguments on Wednesday.
Justice Michael Croucher will then outline details of the charge to the jury, before they are sent away to deliberate on a verdict.
