News24 reports that one of the three people arrested for the kidnapping of six-year-old Grade R pupil Amy'Leigh de Jager is a teacher at her school, Laerskool Kollegepark, in Vanderbijlpark.
This was confirmed by Amy'Leigh's father, Wynand de Jager, as well as a second trusted source close to the investigation. De Jager said on Thursday: "I can confirm that one of the suspects is indeed [a teacher at the school]. She is known to me and my family. I wish to make it clear that my family had no hand in this." According to a police spokesperson, one man and two women, aged 27 to 50, were arrested just before midnight on Wednesday. A Gauteng education spokesperson could not confirm whether or not a teacher at the school had been arrested. Four men snatched Amy'Leigh from her mother's car at the school and drove off. Her kidnappers dropped her off on Tuesday afternoon on a street in Vanderbijlpark.
