Sam and her young daughter fled Dubai with only an hour to pack after learning of the flight through a local expat chat group, experiencing five days of loud missile defence activity that shook buildings.

Greg Lynn, accused of murdering Carol Clay in Wanangatta during a 2020 camping trip, awaits a bail decision in Melbourne.

The prosecution questions the need for bail given a trial could commence this year, while Lynn's son has offered his life savings as surety.
