Episode notes
Ten-Point Circumstantial Case
- The Crown built its case around ten circumstantial points that together aim to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
- Prosecutor Nathan Crane argued the combination of DNA, phone pings, car movements and behaviour is stronger than any single fact.
Motive Not Required
- The Crown downplayed motive, saying homicide can be proved without establishing why it happened.
- Nathan Crane focused instead on physical and behavioural evidence to satisfy the legal element of murder.
DNA And Phone-Tower Links
- Key technical evidence: Rajwinder Singh's DNA on a stick at the grave site and three final handset pings matched to his blue Alfa Romeo.
- The Crown linked his car's route and timing to where Toyah's phone stopped connecting and suggested disposal opportunities on his return trip.
