Court Lifts Greg Lynn Secrecy Order, Allowing Reporting on 1999 Death and Police Dealings

A Supreme Court ruling that found a jurisdictional error cleared the way for publication once a 60‑day grace period lapsed.

Overview

  • Justice Peter Gray quashed the magistrate’s suppression order imposed in 2023, and with no fresh application lodged, the order expired this week.
  • Newly reportable records show Lynn pleaded guilty in 1999 to breaching an intervention order and escaping police custody, receiving a good‑behaviour bond without conviction.
  • Coronial findings recorded no suspicious circumstances in Lisa Lynn’s 1999 death from alcohol and drug toxicity, while family statements alleging abuse and diary entries were raised pretrial but kept from the jury.
  • Lisa Lynn’s family says a renewed police review has stalled over funding for a $9,000 expert report, though Victoria Police says the investigation is ongoing and before the coroner.
  • Greg Lynn is serving 32 years for the 2020 murder of Carol Clay, was acquitted over Russell Hill’s death, and is awaiting a Court of Appeal decision after an October 31 hearing.
