Filthy revenge: Convicted killer gets the scoop in Aussie prison assault!

In the confines of an Aussie prison, a place where society's rules are rewritten behind bars, a convicted criminal found himself the target of a repugnant assault.

It is believed that the attack was orchestrated by another inmate with connections to the family whom the criminal victimised.

This exclusive and disturbing incident highlights the harsh realities of prison life, where retribution can come in unexpected and vile forms.


Convicted murderer Greg Lynn was assaulted in Melbourne Assessment Prison late last week when another prisoner threw human faeces at him.

The dirty deed was carried out just days after the father-of-three was found guilty of killing Carol Clay.

Greg Lynn has been navigating the treacherous waters of the prison's protection unit, where he is allowed to mingle with other inmates, including individuals like Lachlan Young, who is accused of killing Hannah McGuire.

Despite the supposed safety of the protection unit, Lynn's experience clearly indicated that no place within the prison walls is entirely safe.

The attack underscored Lynn's already expressed dissatisfaction with his incarceration. He has complained about the living conditions, which he deems unsatisfactory.

However, a Department of Justice and Community Safety spokesperson stated that it ‘does not comment on individual prisoners or their placements’.

‘Corrections Victoria takes all incidents very seriously and refers all allegations of criminal activity and serious incidents to Victoria Police for investigation,’ they said.


Lynn's journey to this point has been a tumultuous one. The 57-year-old former pilot spent his first week in prison after a jury of 12 found him guilty of murdering Carol Clay on March 20, 2020.

However, he was acquitted of killing her secret lover, Russell Hill.

The pair, embroiled in an affair, vanished from the Wonnangatta Valley in Victoria's alpine region, leaving behind a mystery that would later unravel with Lynn's arrest.


Despite his pleas of innocence and claims that the deaths were accidental, Lynn admitted to burning the crime scene and destroying the bodies, which were eventually reduced to 2100 bone fragments.

Lynn insisted he was innocent of murder but admitted to the jury that his actions in concealing the crime—such as repainting his four-wheel-drive used to dispose of the bodies—were ‘despicable’, and had offered to plead guilty to charges of destroying evidence before the trial.

The convicted murderer, awaiting sentencing, faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

Even when you have a lot of the "underworld" on your side, you are not impenetrable in prison. There is always someone lurking, who either hates you intensely for what you have done, or thinks that they are superior to you and want you gone. Take Carl Williams for example. Someone didn't like what he was doing to others in Melbourne's gangland wars prior to being imprisoned.
 
Well Prison is not an hotel. He has been found guilty of murder. So even though it is despicable there are despicable people in there. His long sentence would probably not be to rehabilitate him but to punish him for the hideous crime he was found guilty of. I don’t know why this story has reached general knowledge. I really don’t want to know about these types of degenerate acts. “Birds of a feather…”
 
Shold have given him to the families involved between the court case and lock up so they can "talk" it over and then what's left lock him up, maybe he will appreciate the prison life after all.
Agreed, He is an absolute waste of space, an oxygen thief. I still think the penalty should match the crime: an eye for an eye: All those who are against the death penalty, think, was the perpetrator against the death penalty for his victim, NO, only against it for him / herself
 
And some innocent people would have got murdered by a jury. What a vengeful lot we oldies are!
With the scientific resources we have that I believe is becoming easier to find the truth and less likely to convict. Although I know a bloke that went to jail instead of a son who actually did the crime, still doesn't realise that if the truth comes out he will not likely be charged with perjury and his son will be with the murder. It's like the old saying, three people can keep a secret? as long as two are dead?
 
He has complained about the living conditions, which he deems unsatisfactory.
Say what!!! Serves him right, shame the perp didn't make him eat the offerings as well. Mongrel doesn't deserve any space
 
I am unsure whether I feel any empathy for this bloke. I find it difficult to believe that two people lost their lives and this bloke attempted to destroy and hide all of the evidence while he buried two bodies and he claim's the deaths were an accident.
