- Former Jetstar pilot convicted of murder last month
- He murdered missing camper Carolyn Clay in 2020
- He was found not guilty of the murder of her lover Russell Hill
Prisoners are jealous of convicted camp killer Greg Lynn, who managed to land a cell with a view and a coveted prison job. But a new report suggests he’s become a target himself.
The former Jetstar pilot was pelted with human excrement at the Melbourne assessment centre earlier this month, just days after he was found guilty of the murder of Carolyn Clay, 73, but not guilty of the murder of Russell Hill, 74, who both disappeared during a camping trip in Victoria in 2020.
Now a prison source has revealed the reason for this disgusting attack and why Lynn is not mixing with other inmates behind bars.
“Lynn does not exhibit any normal characteristics of an average prisoner,” the prison source told the Herald Sun.
He is aloof, arrogant and conceited, and the other prisoners do not like him.
“He is not part of a criminal network. That is why he was isolated and attacked.”
The source said fellow inmates also aren’t happy with the power Lynn, 57, has over them after he landed the job as head of a prison unit, a coveted and lucrative position that requires him to man the food line and order other prison units to do work.
The source said Lynn’s application was initially rejected, but later denied.

According to the source, there’s another reason for jealousy: Lynn has a cell on a corner with a nice view of Spencer St., and there’s no adjoining cell on the north side.
This is one of the quietest cells in the prison, where Lynn is currently being held while awaiting punishment for his crime.
Ms Clay and Mr Hill, who were having an affair, were camping in the Wonnangatta Valley, in Victoria’s alpine region, when they disappeared on March 20, 2020.
About 18 months later, Lynn was arrested and led detectives to their graves in the bush.
He pleaded not guilty to both murders, claiming that Mr Hill stole his gun from his car during an argument and that it accidentally went off, killing Mrs Clay, as the two men struggled to get the weapon.
He claimed that Mr Hill, devastated by Mrs Clay’s death, then attacked him with a knife and that the elderly man was accidentally killed during the fight.
Lynn is due to appear before the Supreme Court on Friday for a pre-sentence hearing.
