Friday 25 November 2022 03:50 AM Toyah Cordingley killed: Rajwinder Singh found in India after $1million bounty ... trends now
The man accused of murdering Toyah Cordingley on a remote Australian beach has been tracked down in India less than a month after police offered a massive $1million reward for his arrest.
Toyah Cordingley, 24, was found dead on Wangetti Beach in far north Queensland in October 2018.
Her alleged killer, Rajwinder Singh, 38, is accused of fleeing to India two days after the young woman's death.
Four years after allegedly fleeing, he was tracked to a village in India with police confirming on Friday he had been arrested.
In announcing the $1million reward earlier this month, the largest in Queensland's history, police said they were hopeful Singh would be found.
While bounties are usually offered to help an alleged criminal be convicted, police in this case have offered the reward for Mr Singh's arrest instead.

Toyah Cordingley drove to Wangetti Beach, north of Cairns, on October 21, 2018, to walk her dog.
The pharmacy worker and animal shelter volunteer was then allegedly attacked and killed at the beach.
Friends and family conducted a search for Toyah when she didn't return home.
In an horrific twist, it was Toyah's father who discovered her body the next morning, buried in a shallow grave with her dog tied up nearby.
Police later identified Rajwinder Singh, a nurse from Innisfall, as a suspect.
