Gregory Lynn is now explaining to the jury how he went about cleaning the campsite.
He says he used a torch to help clean up after the deaths of Russell Hill and Carol Clay.
“Just looking for bits and pieces,” he says.
“There was blood splatter on the hitching rails and the tray base of the Toyota Landcruiser, there was some on the inside of the canopy, I wiped all of that off.“
He says solar panels leaning against the car also “had quite a lot of blood and other material on them and over the camp furniture which was in front of the tent”.
The camp furniture, he says, was also covered in blood and there was “a very large pool of blood on the ground in between the tent and the Landcruiser where Carol Clay was”.
