Ah I might have misinterpreted this :
Well, he may not have been "covered in blood", maybe that was an exaggeration. Or maybe most of the blood was on the front of him.
Wow! So the drone-flying looks much less likely as a motive for an argument. Seems to more likely be a dispute about camping spots.
Russell Hill and Carol Clay may have been murdered after drone dispute, police say in court documents
Lynn has been charged with murdering the pair, who went missing in March 2020 while camping in the Wonnangatta Valleywww.theguardian.com
The police summary also detailed a camping trip Hill took by himself earlier in March, during which he asked other campers if they minded whether he flew his drone above their camps.
This doesn't make sense. If RH went to GL's vehicle that means RH went to GL's camp site. How then, was biological matter supposedly belonging to CC found on the near side (?) & canopy of RH's vehicle? That tells me that GL must have gone into RH & CC's camp site and CC would have been standing somewhere near the passenger side (according to recent reports) of RH's vehicle. All very confusing at the moment.Ex-Jetstar pilot 'scattered remains' of secret lover campers
Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was suspected of going to a hotel room after the alleged murder of elderly campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay, a court has heard.www.dailymail.co.uk
Police alleged in court that Lynn blasted Ms Clay in the head with shotgun after getting into an angry confrontation with Mr Hill over the use of his drone in the national park, which is illegal.
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.
Mr Gellatly told the court Lynn claimed he had returned to his camp after getting into the argument, but Mr Hill refused to let it go.
'Hill went to Lynn's vehicle and grabbed (his) shotgun, the two wrestled over the gun causing it to discharge, which struck Clay in the head,' he told the court via his police statement.
The blast is believed to have killed the mother-of-three instantly.
What happened next, according to Lynn, was a fight that ended with him fatally stabbing Mr Hill, court documents said.
Police put out sketches of a vehicle they were looking for knowing full well they had the very car they wanted bugged
It Doesnt make sense this scenario, the evidence of the fight was at the Hills camp , and CC evidence was on Hills car , the metal of the bullet also found at the Hill camp , so IMO this story holds NO waterEx-Jetstar pilot 'scattered remains' of secret lover campers

Yep, Carol must have died at her and Russell's camp if her DNA and biological matter was found there.
Ex-Jetstar pilot 'scattered remains' of secret lover campers
Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was suspected of going to a hotel room after the alleged murder of elderly campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay, a court has heard.
The court heard prosecutors were keen to have the contents of Lynn's initial record of interview and his original statement to police suppressed over fears they may be inadmissible when the matter goes to trial.
A court battle over the content of that evidence between Crown prosecutors, Lynn's barrister and media organisations will return to court on Friday.
On Tuesday, journalists were provided a redacted version of the alleged events, omitting many of the allegations against Lynn.
Despite fighting for information on the case to be suppressed, prosecutor John Dickie took an extraordinary swipe at the reporting of the hearing after Lynn's version of events were finally aired.
'There are matters that are not in that document, that have been removed from that document, that clearly the prosecution intends to rely upon,' Mr Dickie said.
'It is clear hopefully from the document, and if it's not clear from the document it's clear hopefully from the charges put before the court, that it is alleged of course that the accused acted with murderous intent when he allegedly killed the two victims.'
Mr Dickie said he was concerned that some media outlets had 'not heard the evidence properly' when publishing court reports on the preliminary hearing.
'Just so that no-one is under any misapprehension, that's how the two charges are entered and those two charges are before the court,' he said.
Lynn is expected to enter a plea of not guilty to the charges at the conclusion of the hearing next week.
I agree, he destroyed a lot of the blood and dna evidence in the tent.
I agree, It makes no sense. I know the campsite as I camped with Russell there a number of times and have visited the site since his dissapearance (before GL was charged). GL's campsite, I believe was about 30 or 40 meters to the south of where RH and CC were camped.( I saw the chared outline of their tent on my last visit there). The southerly direction is the drivers side of RH's vehicle. If there was blood from CC on the exterior passenger side of RH's vehicle then GL would have had to walk north from his campsite past RH's vehicle and the shooting to take place there for that to happen. It is possible there was a struggle with the gun, but I find it hard to believe that RH walked 30 or 40 meters south to GL's camp, took his (loaded) shotgun from car, then the struggle worked it way back 30 or 40 meters back to the passenger side of RH's vehicle.
Did the police allege that GL blasted CC in the head with a shotgun? Do you have a link to the report that says this? I read that one proposed scenario is the gun went off during a struggle between RH and GL for the gun. after RH supposedly took the gun from GL's car. Nothing has been said about who pulled the trigger?Ex-Jetstar pilot 'scattered remains' of secret lover campers

Yes i agree Tootsie! Also since there's been enormous media attention that may play into how a trial may proceed.
