Jury returns guilty verdict in trial of Rajwinder Singh over murder of woman on beach near Cairns

Rajwinder Singh has been found guilty of the murder of 24-year-old pharmacy worker Toyah Cordingley in far north Queensland seven years ago.

Cordingley’s body was found half-buried in isolated sand dunes at Wangetti Beach, about 40 kilometres north of Cairns, after she failed to return home from a Sunday afternoon walk with her dog.

Singh, a nurse who had been working in the far north Queensland town of Innisfail, faced trial for her murder after being extradited from India in 2023.

More to come.
