Her father Nelson de Jesus Silva said: “My daughter was very special, smart.” He added: “I do not know what goes on in a person’s head to do this. “I surrender to God. “I’m not going to let them continue in daycare, my children are all small and have no defense of anything.”

The teacher killed was named as Helley Abreu Batista, 43, who suffered burns to 90% of her body.
