Her body was discovered on a steep hillside by a winding rural road an hour north of Toowoomba<\/a>, bringing a heartbreaking end to the search.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are shattered, we are broken,\u201d her heartbroken family said. \u201cIt\u2019s not the breakthrough we wanted at all. But it\u2019s answers, it\u2019s something. We knew deep down she was never coming home to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the discovery, police moved quickly to arrest Armstrong\u2019s former partner, Dharminder Singh, who 7NEWS had tracked down in his final days of freedom.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s alleged he had already killed Armstrong before speaking to media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t want him to have another day of freedom,\u201d Armstrong\u2019s sister Faith Isaacs said.<\/p>\n

According to police, Armstrong died between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, when her car was found abandoned in the middle of a road. Singh is accused of using that vehicle to transport and dump her body.<\/p>\n

Police searched multiple locations and her family conducted their own searches. There were public appeals, but in the end it was a group of young pig hunters who delivered the breakthrough, with their dogs finding her remains.<\/p>\n

As officers were breaking the news to Armstrong\u2019s family, community volunteers were gathering to look for her, unaware the search was already over.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can now take her to a resting spot next to mum and dad,\u201d Isaacs said.<\/p>\n

Isaacs is already grieving the death of her three-week-old girl, now forced to endure another devastating loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s taking care of my daughter and I\u2019m now taking care of her son and I\u2019ll raise him just the way she would have wanted me to,\u201d she said, determined Armstrong\u2019s baby boy will always know how deeply his mum loved him.<\/p>\n

Singh will face court on Monday.<\/p>\n
