Joseph Swartbooi, polisie woordvoerder bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leighton se ma, Lizelle Regue, het vanoggend met die <em>Standard &amp; Breederivier Gazette<\/em> gesels ten spyte hul groot hartseer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeighton was \u2018n baie spontane mens, \u2018n jong man met baie drome.

Sy passie vir onderwys het juis hi\u00e9r, waar ek werk en hy gematrikuleer het, begin. Hy het ges\u00ea as hy nie dadelik werk kry n\u00e1 sy studies nie, sal hy graag IT wil studeer en \u2018games\u2019 ontwerp.

Van Vrydagaand af kan ek sien aan die klomp mense wat op die toneel was en hoeveel mense al by ons was wat ek nie eers ken nie, watter groot vriendekring hy gehad het. Dis hartverskeurend. Maar ek s\u00ea vir die Here dankie dat ons ons kinders goed kon groot maak en dat hulle iets vir die w\u00eareld daarbuite daar kon beteken. Hulle was altyd bereid om mense se te help.
