Jurors in a high-profile Australian murder trial have taken a trip to the remote beach where the victim, Toyah Cordingley, was found. The visit to Wangetti Beach occurred amid testimony revealing the harrowing details of Cordingley's death, as she was reportedly stabbed and concealed in a grave.
The beach, located in Far North Queensland, holds significant importance in the case, where the 24-year-old's father discovered her body in 2018. Rajwinder Singh, the accused, denies murdering Cordingley and the trial has become a media focus due to its nature and the pivotal evidence presented by the prosecution.
During their visit, the jurors, accompanied by the judge and lawyers, observed the area where Cordingley’s body was found as part of the trial proceedings. Dressed casually to adapt to the tropical climate, the judge and lawyers trekked along the sandy beach, familiarizing themselves with the shocking crime scene.
The trip aimed to provide jurors with a better understanding of the key locations involved in the case, although no new official evidence was shared during the excursion. Evidence presented thus far includes claims that Singh left Australia the day after Cordingley's body was found, raising questions over his involvement.
As the trial continues, both the prosecution and defense will further establish their cases, with Singh's defense suggesting alternative narratives while he navigates through serious accusations stemming from Cordingley’s tragic death.
