The wife of high country killer Greg Lynn remains holed up inside the couple’s home in Melbourne’s west following her husband’s murder conviction.
Melanie Lynn is yet to break her silence after Lynn, 57, was found guilty of murdering elderly camper Carol Clay two days ago.
Despite being a constant figure in the high profile trial, attending court for most days to watch proceedings, she has not publicly spoken about the case.
When the Herald Sun attended the Caroline Springs home on Thursday, a white Mitsubishi Lancer was parked in the driveway but all blinds remained closed.
The two-storey property was plastered with signs warning uninvited visitors not to approach.
“These premises are under constant surveillance,” a bright orange sign read.
“Warning, 24-hour online remote video surveillance,” another said.
A childlike whiteboard was placed at the front door with “stop” written in big letters.
“No trespassing, do not knock, do not disturb” and “please leave any deliveries at the front door” were also included.
Three more caution signs were hung above the whiteboard reading “no unexpected uninvited people, do not disturb”, “warning beware of dog” and “do not knock”.
Ms Lynn is no stranger to 24-hour surveillance as it was one of the methods investigators used to bring down her husband.
For nearly a year, Lynn was seemingly unaware the missing persons squad was tracking his movements and listening to nearly every word he uttered through listening devices planted in his home and vehicle.
He would later tell police he was paranoid he was on their “radar” in the lead-up to his arrest as too many people had said odd things to him like he was on “The Truman Show”.
Lynn is currently behind bars at Melbourne Assessment Prison.
It took seven days for the Supreme Court jury to convict the former Jetstar pilot of the murder of Mrs Clay, 73, who along with Russell Hill, 74, vanished during a camping trip to Wonnangatta Valley in March 2020.
Lynn is awaiting his next court date on July 19 where a date for his plea hearing will likely be set.
Justice Michael Croucher will write his sentencing remarks before Lynn is sentenced later this year.
Due to the high profile nature of the case, he will most likely be whisked into a protection unit at a maximum-security prison.
Protection units are for inmates who need to be isolated from mainstream prisoners for their own safety.
