That SMH article form 2024 is pay-walled for most.

Meanwhile here's the coroner's findings in 2011, according to ABC news:

I've read a lot about the neighours deaths and I'm not convinced it was murder suicide.

Here's an article on the recent Coroner's finding about Niels Becker who went missing in the Victorian high country six months before Russell and Carol went missing. He disappeared without a trace.

Coroner Ryan concluded that at some stage on October 26 2019, Mr Becker left the track he was walking on after leaving Macalister Hut where "he has become lost or injured and passed away from exposure to the elements".

Thanks for re-posting this. What’s coming out through this wave of reporting now the suppression order is lifted, is that this was a tight community of people at Mount Macedon. There are many neighbours who have always been really bothered by Lynn and sure he was responsible for her death in some way. And he resented that and threatened those people.
When Greg Lynn's wife died, 'nothing looked out of place'. But friends have unsolved questions

And now everyone is wondering about the Zig Zag Road murder suicide situation. Yet again, there were animals who were killed in that situation.
It seems to me that if he perceived that couple had helped Lisa he might have had a serious grudge about them and carried it out.

Lynn is appealing both the conviction and sentence – with his legal team arguing the trial was corrupted by an “illegitimate attack” on his credibility and the jury’s verdict “made no sense”.

“illegitimate attack” on his credibility and the jury’s verdict “made no sense”.

Credibility: as in when he failed to report the deaths but burned the bodies instead?

Verdict made no sense: now there's a stretch!

Lynn’s dark past now revealed

The 59-year-old former pilot began the appeals process last month, challenging the 32-year sentence that was handed to him on October 18, 2024. Not too dissimilarly, a media trinity of The Age, ABC, and Herald Sun appealed to lift the suppression order limiting their reporting, after the guilty verdict was delivered, which is not unusual, as it is usually deemed unnecessary to retain information after a trial has finished.

The magistrate opted not only to maintain the order, however, but also extended its content, now including information related to the death of Lynns’ first wife.

The media formally appealed this new imposition on their work, which Supreme Court Justice Peter Gray accepted, removing the suppression order, a decision he found to be “obvious.

His credibility went out the window when he repeatedly lied to the police before about-facing. Just a pity it was deemed inadmissible in court.
