Chantae, who is from Sterling Castle, reportedly left for school last Thursday clad in her school uniform — a navy blue tunic, white blouse and black shoes.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Information has since dispatched its grief and trauma team to support staff and students at Red Hills Primary in St Andrew where she was a student.
The police’s Corporate Communications Unit (CCU) said that the two people are now being questioned.
More information later.
