Indo-Aussie Murderer Caught After 4 Years

On November 25, a Delhi court sentenced Australian Rajwinder Singh, who is of Indian descent, to five days of judicial custody. Singh had fled India after killing a woman there four years prior and had a $1 million Australian reward on him at the time of his arrest.

After being presented before the court following his arrest by the Delhi Police earlier on Friday, Singh was sentenced to prison till November 30.

The court issued a non-bailable order for Singh’s arrest on November 21 in accordance with the extradition laws after the Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice against him (age 38).

According to the police, the suspect was apprehended near G T-Karnal Road at 6 am and detained by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police based on information shared by the CBI, the nodal agency of Interpol in India, and their Australian counterparts.

The nurse who killed the Australian woman on a beach, Singh, has been identified as a person of interest, and the Australian High Commission announced a reward of $1 million AUD on November 4.

In Queensland, Toyah Cordingley (age 24) was killed in October 2018 while walking her dog on Wangetti Beach. Her dog was tied next to Cordingley’s body, which her father found in a grave.

Singh’s photos from the airport when he fled to India were made public during the investigation by the Queensland Police. For information that resulted in Singh’s arrest, they also offered a reward of $1 million Australian.

Singh’s extradition from Australia to India was requested in March 2021 and granted in November of the same year.

The principal person of interest in the case was Singh, a nurse who worked in Innisfail. He left his wife and three children behind when he left Australia two days after Cordingley was killed.
