The accused killer of Cairns woman Toyah Cordingley will spend at least another week in an Indian jail.
Rajwinder Singh faced a Dehli court on December 17 over the alleged 2018 murder, as authorities seek to extradite him to Australia.

Singh’s matter was adjourned due to availability issues with a judge. The former Innisfail nurse will return to court at a later date.
 

A male nurse accused of killing Toya Cordingley in October 2018 is finally set to be extradited from India to Australia and face trial for the alleged murder.

On Saturday, Singh entered a 'willingness statement' which means the Indian court accepted his desire to return to Australia and face trial.
The extradition order must now be signed off by the Indian government before Singh can return and it is unclear when that will happen.
Singh told local reporters in Delhi that he will 'explain everything over there in Australia'.
 

"I want to go back. It is the (Indian) judicial system that has been holding things up," said Singh, who was accompanied by his father and mother at the court hearing.

"I did not kill the woman," he said, adding he wanted to "reveal all the details" to an Australian court.

Asked why he had fled the country after Cordingley's murder, Singh told AAP, "I will explain all that (later)".

He added cryptically: "There were two killers and two victims."

Singh, who Australian police say is the prime suspect in the killing, said he would explain that claim later as well.

The magistrate now will consider Singh's request to be returned to Australia and give a decision on January 10.
 
DNA inside his car will show otherwise.

The man accused of murdering Queensland woman Toyah Cordingley has reportedly claimed he was a witness to the crime.
Singh has said he will also reveal why he left the country soon after Cordingley's death.
He told the Courier Mail he did not kill Cordingley, and that he was an "eye witness to a murder".
Singh has chosen to waive his extradition battle, instead submitting a request to return to Australia.
 
Most decent and innocent people would contact the Police upon seeing a young woman or anyone being murdered.
Not go on the run. Not a thought for the poor victim or her family.

Hmmm sounds awfully farfetched to me. :rolleyes:


I also don't like the way he says "the woman".

Something about that really grates on me. :mad:

So, his story has changed from he killed Toyah because her dog was barking at him, to he didn't kill her. Hmm.

 

Toyah Cordingley's accused murderer is set to return to Australia to face trial over the young woman's death four years ago.

Rajwinder Singh, 38, signed a consent application to be extradited to Australia from India.

'I know the consequences and nature of the case and am willing to go to Australia and face the trial,' the application signed by Singh read.

he 38-year-old appeared before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in New Delhi on Tuesday, local time, to record an official statement.

Singh told the magistrate he was aware he could face a life sentence if convicted by an Australian court.

The written statement is the latest step toward Singh's extradition from India to Australia.

The decision pre-empts a legal battle that could have dragged on for years in India's court system which is clogged with some 40 million cases.

The magistrate is expected to pass an order approving the extradition on Friday.

The order and an 'inquiry report' will then be sent to the Ministry of External Affairs to advise the extradition can proceed as it does not violate any aspect of India's extradition law.

The Ministry will examine the inquiry report before it green-lights the process of sending Singh, who is in Tihar Jail, back to Australia.
 

The man accused of killing Cairns woman Toyah Cordingley will learn next Tuesday whether he will be extradited from India to Australia to face trial for her murder.

Rajwinder Singh appeared in a court in the Indian capital New Delhi on Friday, where the matter was reserved until next week.
 

A ruling on the extradition of the man suspected of murdering Toyah Cordingley on a Queensland beach four years ago has been delayed until January 24.

The key reason for several adjournments of Rajwinder Singh's case is that the New Delhi judge who specialises in extradition cases, Nabeela Wali, is on maternity leave.

"She is the one with the expertise to be able to make decisions and move things along," a lawyer at the court told AAP without wishing to be identified.

In Wali's absence, the hearings are being held in other courts under other magistrates who have either been on leave or are unfamiliar with the case.
 

Application is made to live in a barracks in the Prison?.. Apparently the spicy food is not agreeing with him.

The menu typically consists of:

4. Tihar Jail
Breakfast: at 7:00 AM, tea and poha/kulche chole.

Lunch: at 12:30 PM, 4 roti, seasonal subzi, rice, and dal.

Evening tea: Biscuit. Dinner: Same as the lunch with different vegetables.

Sunday is funday with paneer dishes/cudhi/rajma, sweet and curd. The Tihar shop sells delicious bakery items, better than the market.
 
Dehli court approves extradition of Rajwinder Singh, the man accused of Toyah Cordingley's murder

I was just coming to post the same news :)



With the Indian court approving the extradition, it now needs to be signed off by the country's Ministry of External Affairs, which could happen within the month, but by the end of February at the latest, according to lawyers.
 

The court order, along with the file and other documents, will now be sent to officials in India’s ministry of external affairs.

Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, minister of external affairs, will have the final say on Singh’s extradition.

The Indian government has already provisionally consented to Australia’s request for Singh’s extradition, which needed to be signed off by the court.

Lawyers involved in the case say it could take 30 to 45 days before Singh is placed on a flight back to Australia.
