‘The Coroner has advised Victoria Police that the remains are that of Russell Hill and Carol Clay. As the matter is before the court, we will not be providing any further comment.
‘We will not be providing a spokesperson or facilitating any further interviews at this time.’
It comes after Jetstar pilot Gregory Lynn, 55, was arrested in November and charged with the couple’s murders, some 20 months after they vanished from a rural campsite while on a secret rendezvous in March 2020.
More to come.
