Queensland police say they have charged a 48-year-old man with domestic violence murder after finding a body believed to be missing mother Jana Armstrong.
Police said human remains were found overnight in bushland off Esk Hampton Road in Redbank Creek, northeast of Toowoomba, and they have declared the area a crime scene.
While the remains were yet be formally identified as of 7.30am this morning, police said believed they they were Armstrong’s and that they were in contact with her family.
Armstrong had been reported missing from Newtown after she was last seen on 7 July.
Police said Darling Downs district detectives arrested a 48-year-old man using a search warrant at a property on West St in nearby Harristown, and charged him with one count of murder (domestic violence offence).
The man is due to appear at the Toowoomba Magistrates Court tomorrow, police said. As part of their ongoing investigation, police have asked anyone with information, or relevant CCTV, dashcam or other vision to contact them.
Police say investigators are particularly interested in dashcam or CCTV vision between Toowoomba and Esk, along Esk Hampton Road and the New England Highway, taken between 10.30pm on 7 July and 1.30am on 8 July.
