Rajwinder Singh is the victim of "wrong place, wrong time", his defence counsel says. In opening statements, barrister Gregory McGuire offered an explanation for Mr Singh leaving the country so soon after Toyah Cordingley's murder.

In this episode, Chris Testa joins Stephen Stockwell in Cairns to talk through opening statements and cross examinations from Mr Singh's legal team, including suggestions of other potential suspects.
