Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn has been denied bail, as he waits to face a retrial over the alleged murder of Victorian retiree Carol Clay.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Niall rejected Mr Lynn's bid for freedom this morning, finding the time he had spent on remand did not amount to exceptional circumstances warranting his release.
The former Jetstar pilot, 60, is due to stand trial in May 2027.
He is charged with murdering Ms Clay at a remote Victorian campsite in March 2020.
Ms Clay's companion Russell Hill also died, but Mr Lynn was acquitted over his death.
Mr Lynn has always maintained his innocence, arguing he was not criminally responsible for what happened to the pair.
Mr Lynn has been in custody since November 2021 and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Remand Centre.
