A record $1 million reward is on offer for the arrest of the suspected killer of Queensland woman Toyah Cordingley, as police try to track him down in India.
Cordingley, 24, was murdered in October 18 as she walked her dog along Wangetti Beach, north of Cairns.
Rajwinder Singh, who worked as a nurse in Innisfail, boarded a plane for India two days after Cordingley was killed, leaving behind his job and family.
He is the prime suspect in her murder.
Australian authorities have worked with the Indian government to secure an extradition order for Singh, which is now in place – but Singh has not yet been found.
Police are hopeful the new $1 million reward will inspire a manhunt to track him down.

It is not only the largest reward ever offered in Queensland history, but uniquely, it is not contingent on Singh’s conviction.
Rather, the Police Commissioner will have the discretion to reward the money on the basis of an arrest.
“It’s very difficult, I cry every time I go past because she should still be here,” she said.
“Having the knock on the door from my son that night saying she was missing, never leaves either, I still dream about that.”
