The suspect, Jacobus Pistoors, 53, had been out on parole for four months and was living with Reagan’s stepfather, Ricardo Davids’ parents, two shacks away. CapeTimesSA

Correctional Services provincial Commissioner Delekile Klaas on Monday confirmed that Jacobus was serving a 12-year sentence for the rape of a 5-year-old boy and was out on parole, which has since been revoked.

"He had done seven years when they asked if someone could sign for him to do the rest of his sentence outside prison because he was sickly. He had many ailments, including high blood pressure and asthma. “His mother came and left the baby with me because she said she was going out to look for Reagan. He knows he is supposed to come home when it gets dark and it was already past 9pm. “We confronted Kobus but he denied it, saying he last saw the child in the afternoon. There was nothing more to do that night, so the next morning Reagan’s mom called the police and we called the child who last saw Reagan to our house.

Maria said the family was in turmoil as her husband blamed himself for signing for Pistoors to live with them. Provincial NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabaliza said the suspect would appear in the Tulbagh Magistrate’s Court today.
