Rajwinder Singh Found Guilty of 2018 Murder of Toyah Cordingley in Queensland Retrial

Sentencing submissions now follow a four-week retrial that heard from more than 80 witnesses.

Overview

  • A Cairns Supreme Court jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict after about seven hours of deliberation.
  • The decision capped a retrial that began on November 10 and spanned four weeks of testimony.
  • The jury found Singh stabbed Toyah Cordingley and cut her throat on Wangetti Beach in October 2018.
  • Singh fled to India after the killing, spent about four years in hiding, and was later extradited to Australia.
  • Sentencing submissions are scheduled for Tuesday, as a community that grieved the case continues to call for justice.
