The verdict was reached seven years after Toyah Cordingley was discovered half buried in the sand dunes of a beach in Queensland with multiple stab wounds and a slashed throat.
It is thought that Singh attacked Cordingley after her dog barked at him
Rajwinder Singh, 41, was charged in March 2023 accused of stabbing the 24-year-old at Wangetti Beach, north of Cairns.
The suspect pleaded not guilty to murder at a four-week trial at Cairns’ Supreme Court.
However, a jury eventually came to its guilty verdict at a retrial on Monday afternoon after seven hours of deliberation.
Evidence presented in court included phone records, DNA samples, CCTV and traffic camera footage, and the movements of Singh’s blue Alfa Romeo.
It comes nine months after a jury was unable to reach a decision at his first trial.
“Today’s verdict delivers a from of justice, but there can never be true justice for us,” Cordingley’s father said.
“We now live in a world without Toyah, an it is a poorer place for it.
“Toyah will always be alive in hour hearts and the hearts of many others.
