THOSE WERE THE LAST THINGS SHE HEARD: FINAL CONVERSATION REVEALED BEFORE MAN CHARGED IN QUEENSLAND MUM’S DE-ATH
The man accused of murdering a Queensland mother has faced court three days after telling reporters he had “no idea” where she was.
Dharminder Singh, 48, appeared in Toowoomba Magistrates Court on Monday charged with the domestic violence murder of his former partner Jana Armstrong.
Armstrong, 30, was reported missing on Wednesday, leaving behind her four-month-old son and prompting a major police search.
Days after her disappearance, Singh was stopped by media outside court, where he was appearing on unrelated matters.
When asked if he knew where his former partner was, he replied he had “no idea”.
Only one day later, a group of young pig hunters found Armstrong’s body dumped beside a rural road on a steep hillside an hour north of Toowoomba.
According to police, Armstrong died between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
Singh was arrested and charged with her murder. He is accused of using Armstrong’s car to transport and dump her body.
On Monday, Singh’s lawyer Ramli Salehkon said his client still “asserts his innocence”.
“It’s a distressing time for everyone. My client has co-operated with the police,” he said outside court.
Armstrong’s sister, Faith Isaac— who is now caring for Armstrong’s young son — also fronted media outside court and thanked supporters.
“I want to say a huge thank you to police, SES, the detectives, the media and the community,” Isaac said.
She also thanked the hunters who discovered her sister’s body and “brought her home”.
“Now we can lay her to rest with the dignity she deserves.”
Singh was remanded in custody, with his case to return to court on September 14.
