Twelve years after four people were charged with kidnapping four-year-old Saada Singh from her Vistabella school, the matter has not yet been set for trial.

Yesterday, the matter came up on the cause list before Justice Maria Wilson in the San Fernando High Court but was adjourned to next month.

The child’s former schoolteacher, Kimberly Moonsammy, her cousin Jonathon, Colleen Osbourne and Keston Franklyn are charged with kidnapping the child on June 3, 2009.

Seven years ago they were committed to stand trial in the High Court by Senior Magistrate Rajendra Rambachan at the conclusion of a preliminary inquiry.

It is alleged that the four accused abducted Singh from her kindergarten school and took her to an unknown destination. 

She was found wandering two days later along a isolated dirt road off Murray Trace, Siparia. She was unharmed.

Moonsammy and Franklyn were represented by attorney Keith Beckles while Jonathon and Osbourne were represented by attorney Ian Brooks.

There are still some issues to be sorted out so the matter was adjourned to June 14.
