Yes, I think they've got his DNA and probably matched through his family still here who volunteered theirs. The police were playing it down initially stressing they only wanted to talk to him trying to get him to come forward himself but it didn't work. He's done a proper runner.

He's vanished into a developing country of 1.35 billion people. Efforts should be made to put pressure on their government because the message is that you can come over here and do whatever you like, commit a murder even and get away with it as long as you hold a current passport and do a runner back to India before the authorities catch on.

Or as that hit and run weasel in Melbourne did: just use your brother's passport and off to India you go. Surely if the Australian government or even someone privately offered a ten thousand dollar reward for information that led to his arrest he would be turned in very quickly

We spend over four million dollars trying to get a Sri Lankan family to leave Australia yet we don't spend a cent to try and bring back a suspected murderer to Australia

Anyone else watching this? Had completely forgot about this case.

From memory people were bringing her family into this as a possible reason why she was murdered in the beginning of all this, or am I wrong there?

Not on here that I can recall but I think there might have been some fingers pointed at her family elsewhere. Her poor Mum, she's heartbroken.

 

[imho]

no offence intended by my needing to say that since first hearing of toyah, and each time since, her name (phonetically) has troubled me - "toy accordingly".

the perpetrator of this senseless, horrifying crime has a deranged mind.

Here's one we're bringing back to face justice, so it's not totally hopeless.


Puneet Puneet was a 19-year-old learner driver when he killed Queenslander Dean Hofstee while speeding in Southbank. Puneet was travelling at 150 kilometres per hour with a blood alcohol reading of 0.165 at the time of the crash.

He pleaded guilty to culpable driving and was on bail awaiting sentence in 2009 when he fled Australia using a friend's passport.

Puneet was arrested four years later in India, on his wedding day, and has been facing drawn-out extradition proceedings.

It's very sad being in Cairns and seeing the many signs for Toyah. May the killer (who I think fled to India) be brought to justice.

Extradition hearing date set but authorities yet to locate person of interest in Toyah Cordingley's murder

Four years after a young woman was brutally murdered on a Far North Queensland beach, her family still waits for justice.

www.abc.net.au

'Posted Fri 21 Oct 2022 at 6:53am'

'.....
Australian authorities made a request to extradite person of interest Rajwinder Singh from India, where he is believed to be living, in March 2021.

The ABC understands the next Indian extradition court proceedings have been listed for November 5, although the matter will be postponed if he isn't located.

Family spokesman Wayne 'Prong' Trimble said the shocking crime continued to take a toll on Ms Cordingley's family and the wider community.

But he said they remained hopeful justice would be served.

"People are flabbergasted at how long things have taken, and we really haven't had much progress at all," Mr Trimble said.

"There are so many questions, why it happened.

"It is frustrating for everyone, especially for the family and there's been a few false alarms.

"The authorities say they will not give up, and we certainly will not be giving up."

A spokeswoman for the Australian Attorney-General's Department said that it was now a matter for Indian authorities to pursue Mr Singh's extradition to Australia and that Indian police were attempting to locate him.'

'Four years after her death, Ms Cordingley's name still hangs in shop windows, on posters strung up on trees, and on stickers on car bumpers in nearly every street in Cairns.'
....
Mr Trimble said a gathering would be held at her memorial site at Wangetti Beach on Friday evening to mark the four-year anniversary of her death.'

'Attorney-General says Rajwinder Singh ‘wanted for prosecution’ for Toyah Cordingley’s murder​

The Indian Government is hoping to make an arrest over the murder of Toyah Cordingley within weeks, in a stunning revelation on the fourth anniversary of her death.

October 22, 2022 - 6:00AM'

'Mr Entsch said he believed the federal government had offered their Indian counterparts assistance with the search for Mr Singh, who is believed to be hiding among the Sikh community in northern India.

“I believe the offer is there but it is up to the Indian authorities,” he said.'

'“They are actively scouring the country looking for this man, and anticipating an arrest,” Mr Entsch said.

“That has given the family a lot of real hope and it shows they really are working towards an outcome.

“It’s the first bit of positive advice that we have received.”'

An appropriate indemnity from prosecution for accomplices, could include anyone that assisted hide Singh, knowing he was a wanted man.
