The accused, former Innisfail nurse Rajwinder Singh, has pleaded not guilty, with his lead defence counsel Angus Edwards KC telling the court there were “several” other possible people who could have committed the Wangetti Beach crime, including Ms Cordingley’s long-term partner Marco Heidenreich.
The defence counsel also said two other men were known to be on the beach on the day, including one “who sneaks around watching women from the sand dunes on the northern beaches” and one who lied to police about his movements that day
Man linked to Toyah Cordingley tells court he initially lied to police about their relationship
“Mr Franklin, a podiatrist, initially told police he met Ms Cordingley earlier that month when she saw him for a consultation, and that they became friends.
The court heard they had gone swimming together, exchanged messages each day, and he had touched her leg when they spent a night together at Ms Cordingley’s home about a week before she died.
Mr Franklin accepted there were "other types of contact on that night beyond the description [he] gave".
"She made some suggestions that she wasn't happy and she wanted to live by herself," Mr Franklin said in evidence today.”

Shock claims from man who had an affair with Toyah Cordingley
Tyson Franklin on Thursday testified he had a sexual encounter with Toyah Cordingley days before she was found dead.
Court witnesses shed further light on what may have happened to Toyah Cordingley
“Mr Heidenreich told the court he drove to Port Douglas that day, went on a hike with Mr Cuman, then spent hours searching for his missing dog along the Spring Creek waterfall track.
Mr Petrak said Mr Heidenreich called again later that night saying he had found Ms Cordingley’s unlocked car at Wangetti Beach.
Forensic scientist Sergeant Kylie Webster also told the court that a shirt of Mr Heidenreich’s had tested positive for small stains of blood.
There was a small fingernail-sized mark on the front neck part of the shirt, and three spots on the inside back of the shirt, she said.”
So he’s admitting he was at Wangetti and witnessed it all. Who is he alleging did it then?
Then he drove around with Toyah’s phone in his car before fleeing the country the next day and not seeing his wife and kids ever since? The food just must be a whole lot better in Aussie jails.
I noticed that and thought that was just me because others seem to still be using it…?
I thought I was in laughing emoji jail or something.

Websleuthers, who remembers trawling through cctv with our magnifying glasses at footage released by the police of cars leaving the Clifton Beach service station?
There are 2 traffic cameras in that area in Cairns. Is easy to go to the web site and enlarge the view, very clear images.
An example of the view today….

Wish there was more up to date media reporting on Toyah's case, just seems to be Cairns Post which has a hard pay wall, a little bit frustrating..........
I'll post some articles & hopefully someone else can read them

Rajwinder Singh trial for alleged murder Day 4: Boyfriend made at least 10 unanswered calls to Toyah, court hears
Maps produced by police have plotted the movements of Toyah Cordingley’s phone and CCTV footage of Rajwinder Singh’s blue Alfa Romeo, the trial heard. LIVE UPDATESEnlarging on DrSleuth’s post above….
“During cross-examination Mr Riley confirmed he had never been tasked with plotting the movements of Mr Heidenreich against timing data, nor any other vehicles plotted against timing advance.
Mr Edwards asked if Mr Riley was asked to plot any other vehicles apart from Ms Cordingley’s car and the blue Alfa Romeo in relation to timing advance.
Mr Riley said “no”.”

Mr Borg told the court at the time of Ms Cordingley’s death in 2018, part of his role was working with law enforcement to provide and interpret phone data records.
He said the best connection for a mobile phone was not always to the closest tower.
Mr Borg told the court he was tasked with providing data from Ms Cordingley’s phone, which detailed connections made by her handset to mobile towers around Cairns on October 21.
Towers were split into sectors facing different directions which each picked up a “slice of the pie” to provide 360 degree coverage, he told the court.
Mr Borg said the sectors used for each connection within the data he provided, were identified.
This can be used to help ascertain the direction of a connection, the court heard.
Mr Borg explained data he provided also included “timing advance data” – a recording of distance that is measured in increments or bands of 78m.
Connections could switch between towers depending on which one provided the strongest signal at the time of the connection, he said.
A document containing data recorded by Ms Cordingley’s handset was tendered by the prosecution.
It outlined connections from Cairns City through towers on the way to the Cairns northern beaches, and towers covering the area of Wangetti Beach including towers 28km away in Port Douglas.
Mr Borg said there was a “gap in the data” between 2.07pm and 3.49pm, which he said could be put down to minimal usage.
The data then captures connections at 4.51pm, 5.08pm, and 5.17pm at Buchan Point, then Saddle Mountain near Kewarra Beach, and finally Smithfield on a path southward, the court heard.
Mr Borg said there were no records after 5.17pm, which he said could be due to the phone being turned off or running out of battery.
He said if the phone was turned on and working he would expect records to continue.”

Interesting that Toyah's phone connected to a tower in Port Douglas 28kms away ( gives me hope that PS's phone in the Samantha Murphy case connected to more than the one phone tower that was reported to be working )12:42 pm March 03, 2025

I think you misunderstood my post. Police released cctv footage before a suspect was named. We watched it over and over to see if we could find something relevant and opened discussion. It was a specific footage.There are 2 traffic cameras in that area in Cairns. Is easy to go to the web site and enlarge the view, very clear images.
