Toyah Cordingley: Nurse found guilty of Australian beach murder
Ms Cordingley was "repeatedly" stabbed with a sharp object and put in a shallow sandy grave with "little or no hope of surviving", the Cairns Supreme Court heard.Singh - originally from the Indian state of Punjab - had been living in Innisfail at the time of the killing, a town about two hours south of the crime scene. Detectives had quickly zeroed in on him as a suspect, but he had already flown out of the country, leaving his wife, three children and parents behind, the trial heard.Prosecutors alleged this was an indication of his guilt. Though circumstantial, their case would show the evidence pointed to Singh "and eliminated others", the court heard.That evidence included DNA recovered from a stick at the scene which was 3.8 billion times more likely to have come from Singh than a random member of the public.Singh will return to court to be sentenced at a later date.
