Australia Offered $1 Million Award To Find Him, He’s Arrested In Delhi
The Delhi Police detained an Indian nurse on Friday who was charged with killing an Australian woman in Queensland in 2018.
Toyah Cordingley, 24, was allegedly killed by Rajwinder Singh, 38, at a beach before he fled to India. Cordingley, a pharmacy employee, was killed while walking her dog on Wangetti Beach in Queensland. Two days later, Singh left Australia, taking his three children, wife, and leaving behind his job,.
The Queensland Police had made its largest-ever reward offer—one million Australian dollars—for information that resulted in Singh’s arrest.
In March 2021, the Australian government asked India to extradite Singh. November of this year saw the approval of the request. Singh is from Buttar Kalan, Punjab, however he formerly resided in Innisfail Town and worked as a nursing assistant there. Vanessa Gardiner, Cordingley’s mother, calls her daughter “beautiful and spiritual.”
“Her life was taken way too early. I see her friends and stuff getting married with kids and that now and think of everything she has missed out on in her life,” Gardiner was quoted as saying a few months ago.
“She was just about to start her first full-time job on Monday, which never happened,” she added. On October 21, 2018, a missing person’s report was made for Cordingley. The following morning, her body was discovered at Wangetti Beach, which is close to Cairns.
