RAJWINDER SINGH IS BACK IN QUEENSLAND WHERE HE BELONGS TO FACE JUSTICE

The arrest and incarceration of Rajwinder Singh, the man alledged to have murdered north Queensland woman Toyah Cordingley in 2018, is proof that when Queensland police, or any police service, acts in a fully cooperative nature with other law enforcement agencies, and strives impassionately to solve a heinous crime like her murder, then the odds of success are always going to be greatly increased.

Without speculating about the aspects of this case which can't be published in a newspaper because the alledged killer hasn't been convicted, it's very publishable to say that Singh made himself look very guilty from the outset after hightailing it back to India immediately after Toyah's ghastly murder.

Queensland police detectives knew who they were looking for basically within a few days after it. From there, they were totally reliant on Interpol and police in India coming to the party, along with assistance from the Australian Federal Police, and treating it as being just as much their case to solve, to attain justice for Toyah. 

There are far too many historical instances of police ineptitude and compromised investigations denying homicide victims justice in Queensland, Betty Shanks and Sharron Phillips being two prime examples of that, but there are also many, and increasing examples, of Queensland police bringing killers to justice, thanks in no small part to the creation of a stand alone cold case investigation unit in recent years. 

Toyah Cordingley can now at least rest in peace, knowing that her killer is no longer on the the loose in India, and will face the music, and face justice, before a Queensland judge and jury.
