Who is Greg Lynn? The story of a high-profile prisoner
By Erin Pearson
Back to the afternoon session of Greg Lynn’s pre-sentence hearing. His defence team is detailing the 58-year-old’s background.He has two sisters and a brother who live in southeast Queensland, and a mother who lives in a NSW nursing home.
Defence barrister Dermot Dann, KC, said Lynn was accepted into an engineering degree but, with an ambition to be a pilot, joined the RAAF.
He later moved to the Western Australia base but “fell at the last hurdle” and was discharged before studying to become a commercial pilot.
Dann said Lynn’s most significant relationship was with his former wife, Lisa Lynn. They became heavily involved in a Pentecostal church in Tasmania before returning to Victoria.
Lisa Lynn later died after being found on the front lawn of the family’s Mount Macedon home. Lynn later met and married his current wife Melanie in 2004.
The 58-year-old is also currently being held in custody as a protected prisoner and has been assaulted in custody towards the end of the murder trial.
“There is a police inquiry into that matter. He is a high-profile prisoner,” Dann said.
“He’s a vulnerable prisoner in custody.”
