Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was suspected of going to a hotel room still allegedly covered in the blood of elderly camper Russell Hill, a court has heard.
Forensic experts deemed the blood of Hill, 74, was 'likely' found on a single sample from a white bathmat at a hotel in the Wonnangatta Valley, in Victoria's rugged alpine region.
Court documents alleged Lynn had arrived at the hotel after murdering and torching the elderly couple's campsite.
Traces of singed hair were later recovered by police from the scene and analysed.
Court documents stated 'a hotel in the Wonnangatta region claimed a room was left with numerous bloodstains, all were cleaned with the exception of possible remnants on a bathmat'.
While Mr Hill's DNA was 'likely' found on the mat, none of Ms Clay's was located, documents state.
The documents stated it was equally possible Mr Hill's blood was not on the mat.
'The DNA evidence is equally likely under both propositions,' the documents stated.
Lynn maintains he had acted in self-defence and told police it was Mr Hill who was the author of his own demise, the court heard.
Lynn had travelled into the rugged wilderness to hunt deer.
A deer hunting map contained in a plastic bag was later recovered from his home.
