Pilot Greg Lynn tells court he's been attacked in prison
Accused of murder, Lynn gave evidence claiming other prisoners have assaulted him, thrown faeces on him, and kept him in solitary confinement.
Gregory Lynn, a 60-year-old former airline pilot accused of murdering camper Carol Clay in 2020, told the Supreme Court he has been repeatedly attacked by other inmates. Lynn said prisoners identified him from television coverage.
Being identified forced him into long stretches of solitary confinement. Lynn described being poked, spat on, and having a milk bottle of human waste thrown at him.
Lynn claimed he was paid very little for prison work. He is too afraid to mix with other inmates.
The court heard he has been kept in harsh conditions on remand. His trial is due next year.
Why it mattersThe bail hearing outcome will determine whether he stays in custody during his murder trial, and raises questions about prisoner safety and segregation practices.
AustraliaThe case continues to draw attention in Victoria, where the alleged victim died and where Lynn awaits trial.
