Toyah Cordingley was a 24-year-old woman from Far North Queensland who disappeared in October 2018 after going to Wangetti Beach, near Cairns, to walk her dog. She was found dead the next day, and the case triggered a major investigation that lasted years and drew national attention. Police eventually identified Rajwinder Singh — an Australian resident who had left for India shortly after the killing — as their prime suspect. After lengthy legal processes and cooperation between Australian and Indian authorities, he was extradited back to Australia to stand trial. A jury later found him guilty of Toyah’s murder, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment, marking the end of a long fight for justice by Toyah’s family and community.
