The man accused of murdering two campers in Victoria’s high country has dropped his unfair dismissal claim against his airline employer.
55-year-old Caroline Springs man Greg Lynn was removed from his longtime job as a Jetstar pilot when he was arrested in relation to the disappearance of Carol Clay and Russell Hill in November 2021 and was subsequently charged with two counts of murder.
Mr Lynn was fired from the budget airline in January 2022 with two months’ pay, plus unpaid leave entitlements.
It has been reported that Mr Lynn has withdrawn his claim of unfair dismissal after lodging the complaint earlier this month with the support of the Transport Workers Union of Australia.
It follows the confirmation that human remains found in Dargo belong to the missing elderly campers campers.
A Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed on Monday 14 February that forensic testing on the remains were complete and that the identities of the bodies were of Pakenham’s Carol Clay and her camping partner Russell Hill, of Drouin.
The human remains were found 30 November last year as part of the ongoing investigation into the pair’s disappearance.
Mr Lynn’s case is due to return to court in Sale for a committal mention on May 31.
