An Australian pilot has had his conviction for the murder of an elderly camper overturned on appeal and will face a retrial.
Greg Lynn was sentenced last year to a minimum of 24 years in prison for the 2020 murder of 73-year-old Carol Clay at a campsite in Victoria.
But on Thursday the state's Court of Appeal ruled there had been "serious irregularities" during the trial and ordered a retrial.
Court of Appeal President Karin Emerton said there was a "substantial" likelihood that a miscarriage of justice had occurred during the original trial.
Lynn, 59, was found guilty of killing Clay during an altercation in Victoria's Wonnangatta Valley in March 2020 but acquitted over the death of her boyfriend, Russell Hill, 74.
