Prosecutor Nathan Crane has alleged 41-year-old nurse Rajwinder Singh fled the country the day after killing Toyah Cordingley in a confrontation on Wangetti beach.
Mr Crane's opening address outlined the prosecution's case against Mr Singh, who will fight the murder charge in a three-week trial, with a freshly empaneled jury in Cairns.
In this episode, Stephen Stockwell joins Christopher Testa in Cairns to break down the first day of this highly anticipated trial, and what we can expect in the coming weeks.
