Mum's tears as daughter's brutal murder faces appeal

Key points

• The mother of Toyah Cordingley, a 24-year-old woman murdered on a beach, cried in court as lawyers debated the details of the crime for the killer's appeal. Former nurse Rajwinder Singh was found guilty of the murder in December 2025 and sentenced to life in prison.
• Singh is challenging his conviction or seeking a shorter non-parole period of 25 years, arguing a sentence of 20 years was enough. He argues four grounds, including improper handling of a juror.
• The appeal court will deliver its judgement on a later date.
