A DNA monster taken from a stick at the cemetery of Queensland -woman Toyah Cordingery was 3.7 billion times more chance of coming from Rajwinder Singh than anyone else, a court heard.
Mr. Singh, 40, did not owe the murder of Mrs. Cordingley of October 2018, who was buried in Zand in Wangetti Beach, north of Cairns.
The former Innisfail nurse is on the right to the Supreme Court in Cairns, which today has heard evidence from forensic scientist Rhys Parry about tests from DNA samples who were taken out of the scene.

Samples were compared to the well -known DNA of 92 people connected to the case, including Mrs. Cordingery, her friend Marco Heidenreich, Mr. Singh, some family members, witnesses, police officers and other interests.
The tested items include a stick that partially invested from the Zandheuvel where Mrs. Cordingley was buried, together with bark, three wooden tree trunks, sand from the area and the leadership of Mrs. Cordingery’s dogs endie.
Friend DNA on dog lead
Mr. Singh had 3.7 billion times more likely to contribute to the DNA that was taken from part of the stick – a profile of two or three people in the world would be expected statistically, Mr. Parry told the court.
It was also 42 million times more likely that a sample of DNA from Mr. Singh did not come, the court heard.

But Mr Singh was excluded or considered unlikely that he contributed to various other DNA samples.
That included the dog collar, lead and chain, on which the DNA of the Lord Heidenreich was found.
Indie the dog was so tightly tied to a tree nearby that she could not sit, the court heard earlier.
“If you try to make a knot on something, then it is pulling through the hands and leaving DNA, isn’t it?” Defender Angus Edwards KC asked.
“Yes, in that scenario, yes, you would leave DNA sooner,” Mr. Parry replied.
“And not only more likely to leave DNA, but is also more inclined to find the DNA because there is such a larger contribution?”
“Potential,” said Mr. Parry.

The DNA of Mr Heidenreich was also found on the cap of Mrs. Cordingley, found on the beach, a monster from which Mr Singh was excluded from contributed to.
Mr. Parry, however, told the court that an item that is often treated by a person can be subject to “swamp”.
“Other people who may have touched it for a short time may not be detectable because that one person has so much DNA that it just rinses other individuals,”
he said.
Mr Heidenreich told the court that he walked with friends when Mrs. Cordingery disappeared.
‘Low level’ trace
Mr. Singh’s defense has asked jury members to consider whether other potential murderers have been responsible for the death of Mrs. Cordingley.
Under the names Mr Edwards mentioned at the start of the trial in his address, Evan McCrea – was a Cairns trader who, as proof, said that he was not on Wangetti Beach on October 21, 2018, when Mrs. Cordingley is supposed to have been murdered.

The court heard a DNA monster from the top of the left hand of Mrs. Cordingery, had contributions from two people – Mrs. Cordingley and each other.
The small contribution was 340 times more likely to come from Mr. McCrea and 26 times more likely to have come from Mr. Singh than any member of the population.
Mr. Parry told the court Mr. McCrea and Mr. Singh shared the same two DNA -Allen who were found in that sample.
The court belonged to secondary contributors to tested DNA samples often “low level trace”, with many potential contributors identified in the event of low probabilities.
Clothing from Mr Singh’s house in a search through permission in November did not reveal traces of Mrs. Cordingley’s DNA.
A police witness, Sergeant Amanda Milligan, has previously given proof that no traces of blood were found in Mr Singh’s car.
Defense tries another room
Earlier today, the court heard evidence from school teacher Remy Fry, who visited his mother in Wangetti in the afternoon, Mrs. Cordingley was reportedly killed.
Mr. Fry told the court that he spent “three hours” with two friends and did not go to the beach.
But one of those friends, Peter Lincoln, told the court that he did not remember that Mr. Fry visited him that afternoon.
Wangetti Beach is approximately 40 minutes’ drive north of Cairns. ((ABC Far North: Christopher Testa))
Mr. Fry said he left Wangetti around 4 p.m. to go to Kuranda.
The court was told that CCTV images from Mr. Fry’s Marineblauwe Rover Sedan conquered at a gas station and parking space on Clifton Beach, 18 kilometers south of Wangetti, between 4.43 pm and 4.52 pm.
Defense Advocaat Brydie Bilic stated Mr. Fry that he had lied to the police about his movements that afternoon and the next morning – a suggestion that Mr. Fry rejected.
Forensic scientist Rhys Parry will continue to prove on Tuesday, while the process, before Justice James Henry continues.
