Camper Killer's Crimes Detailed as Suppression Order Lifts
The court found the suppression order had an 'obvious' error and lifted it after the trial ended, allowing media to report on Lynn’s police history and his first wife’s death.
- Earlier this year, Victoria's Supreme Court quashed the suppression order on Greg Lynn, citing an `obvious` jurisdictional error and setting a 60-day grace period that expired without extension.
- Magistrate Brett Sonnet imposed the January 2023 gag order banning police contact reports, and at a November last year hearing he widened it to include Lisa Lynn's death, prompting appeals from ABC, The Age and Herald Sun.
- Court files note Greg Lynn pleaded guilty in May 1999 to breaching an intervention order and escaping police, receiving a good-behaviour bond, and Lisa Lynn was found dead at Mount Macedon in October 1999 with a coroner attributing her death to combined drug and alcohol toxicity.
- The ABC can now publish an investigation into Lynn's first wife’s death as Greg Lynn appeals his conviction and 32-year sentence, with the Victorian Court of Appeal hearing on October 31.
- Justice Peter Gray warned leaving varied suppression orders is unsatisfactory, Greg Lynn maintains the deaths were accidental, and Crown prosecutor Daniel Porceddu said `Both parents of Lisa Lynn are alive, inquiring if they are available`.
