Former Jetstar pilot has pleaded not guilty to murdering Russell Hill and Carol Clay in 2020
Russell Hill and Carol Clay were allegedly murdered at a remote camping site in Victoria’s alpine region in March 2020.Russell Hill and Carol Clay were allegedly murdered at a remote camping site in Victoria’s alpine region in March 2020.The cause of death for Russell Hill and Carol Clay was unable to be determined as their remains were found “obliterated” in Victoria’s alpine region, a forensic pathologist has told a double murder trial.
She said she was unable to determine the cause of death due to the evidence being “obliterated” and the remains were fragmented.“Sometimes even when remains are fragmented, we may find pieces that bear the hallmarks of trauma, but in this case that was not possible,” she told the court. Archer said her examination found evidence that there was some level of decomposition before the remains were burned. But she was unable to determine a time frame for this.The prosecution has alleged Lynn killed Clay, 73 and Hill, 74, with murderous intent, but do not know the circumstances or motive behind the alleged murders.
Last week, the court heard Hill told his family he was no longer seeing Clay after being given an ultimatum in 2006 by a neighbour to tell his wife about the affair he was having. Hill’s wife of more than 50 years, Robyn Hill, said she told police he was missing on 25 March, after he failed to tune in to any other radio meetings.
