More than a year after a former pilot was convicted of killing a missing grandmother and burning her remains, his appeal against the verdict and sentence will be heard.

Greg Lynn was in June 2024 found guilty of 73-year-old Carol Clay's murder, in a split jury verdict where he was acquitted of killing her lover Russell Hill, 74.

The pair had been camping in the same remote site, in Victoria's high country, as Lynn when they both went missing in March 2020.

Lynn was charged with two murders and took the case to trial, admitting he burned their bodies but maintaining the deaths were accidental.

He gave evidence to the Supreme Court jury that he struggled over his shotgun with Mr Hill when it accidentally discharged, and shot Mrs Clay in the head.
