Greg Lynn was attacked with faeces behind bars at Melbourne Assessment Prison, days after he was found guilty of the murder of Carol Clay

Convicted murderer Greg Lynn has been attacked in prison less than a week after he was found guilty of murdering Carol Clay.

Last week, Lynn was thrown human feces by a fellow inmate at Melbourne Assessment Prison, reports 7 News.

It is believed that another inmate asked the prisoner to attack Lynn.

Lynn is currently in a protective unit at the facility, where he is allowed to interact with other inmates.

Lynn reportedly feels uncomfortable in prison and has already complained that living conditions are not optimal.

One of the inmates at the jail is Lachlan Young, who allegedly murdered 23-year-old Hannah McGuire from Ballarat.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice and Public Security said in a statement that the ministry does not comment on individual cases of prisoners.

“Corrections Victoria takes all incidents extremely seriously and refers all allegations of criminal activity and serious incidents to Victoria Police for investigation,” the organisation said.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Corrections Victoria for further comment.

Last Tuesday, a 12-man jury in the Victorian Supreme Court unanimously found that Lynn murdered Ms Clay in cold blood and then tried to cover his tracks by burning and destroying the evidence.

The couple, who were having an affair, suddenly disappeared on March 20, 2020 in the Wonnangatta Valley, in Victoria’s alpine region.

Lynn was arrested a year later and told police his version of events before leading officers to the scene of the bodies.

The former Jetstar pilot had denied guilt in the murder of both campers.

“I am innocent of murder,” he said. “I am innocent (of manslaughter too). I didn’t kill anybody.”

Lynn claimed the deaths of Ms Clay, 73, and Mr Hill, 74, were an accident, but admitted setting fire to the crime scene and destroying their remains.

The jury heard that Lynn had offered to plead guilty to destroying evidence before appearing in court, but that this offer had been rejected by the prosecution.

Lynn told the court the couple died after Mr Hill stole his hunting rifle and the pair became embroiled in a deadly power struggle.

The jury heard that Lynn was sitting by his campfire by the river when he saw Mr Hill grab his shotgun and load the magazine.

He claimed that Mr Hill accidentally shot Mrs Clay in the head when he tried to grab the shotgun from him.

According to Lynn, Hill died moments later after falling on his own knife during another struggle.

His sentence will be announced later and he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
