New Delhi, Dec. 9 -- An Indian-origin Australian citizen, Rajwinder Singh, 41, has been convicted of the murder of a 24-year-old woman (Toyah Cordingley) on a beach in Australia in 2018. Rajwinder, who worked as a nurse in Australia, is said to have stabbed the woman 26 times when she was walking her dog in October 2018. The 24-year-old's body was found half-buried in sand dunes on Wangetti beach near Cairns, a tourist hotspot. Rajwinder had fled to India after Cordingley's body was found, leaving his wife and three parents along with children behind. He stayed in India for four years. After a month-long trial, he was found guilty by a jury on Monday. He had faced another trial earlier that had ended in a hung jury. According to local reports, Cordingley was a health store worker and animal shelter volunteer. She was well loved among the local community. Her death caused an outpouring of grief across Queensland, local reports mentioned.. Rajwinder had stabbed her repeatedly using a sharp object and put in a shallow sandy grave with "little or no hope of surviving", the Cairns Supreme Court heard. Singh, who hailed from Punjab, had been living in Innisfail in 2018 when the crime took place. Innisfail is barely a two-hour drive away from the spot where her body was found. Investigators listed him as a suspect but he had already fled by then. Singh will be presented in the court on Tuesday when he will be awarded punishment....
