Jana Armstrong.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

Armstrong vanished from her Toowoomba home on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Her family has paid tribute to the disability worker and mother of a four-month-old boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was so caring and loved her son so much, more than anything. She put everyone before herself,\u201d sister Faith said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was just the best sister and an even better mum.\u201d<\/p>\n

A group of people out hunting on Saturday stumbled across a woman\u2019s body in bushland on a rural property near Esk, about 80 kilometres north-east of Toowoomba, about 11pm.<\/p>\n

Police believe it is Armstrong and say she was allegedly driven there in her own car before being thrown down the steep cliff.<\/p>\n

Following the discovery, police arrested Singh, the father of Armstrong\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

He has been charged with murder, aggravated DV offence.<\/p>\n

Police will allege Singh killed Armstrong on Tuesday night before dumping her body.<\/p>\n

Her car was found early the next morning at the end of the street, in the middle of the road with the doors open. Singh was found at her house holding his son.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cruel, so cruel, and now he has no mum,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n

Tearful family and friends laid flowers at the scene.<\/p>\n

The tragic discovery was made by people searching on Saturday.\u00a09News<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not the breakthrough we wanted at all. But it\u2019s answers, it\u2019s something,\u201d a cousin said.<\/p>\n

The community that helped with the search is now shattered.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna miss her so much. But I know she\u2019s taking care of my daughter, and I\u2019m taking care of her son, I\u2019ll raise him, just the way she would have wanted me to,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n
