Bail hearing set to continue for alleged kidnappers of Amy Leigh


The bail hearing of the three people accused of kidnapping 6-year-old Amy Leigh de Jager is expected to continue in the Vanderbijlpark Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

A 27-year-old teacher Tharina Human who was a Grade RR teacher at Amy Leigh's school is accused of being the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

The 40-year-old Laetitia Nel and the 50-year-old Pieter van Zyl are her co-accused.

All three are being charged with kidnapping and extortion.

A fourth suspect, a Lesotho national, was arrested last week and made a brief appearance in the same court.

The 24-year-old Bofokeng Molemohi was the man who allegedly snatched Amy-Leigh outside her school, before driving off in Nel's vehicle.

He will face the same charges and will only be back in court on Wednesday for the state to confirm his status in the country.

Human, Nel and van Zyl have been in custody since their arrest almost a month ago and are expected to bring their own witnesses to testify in the bail application.
