Cele vows to track down Hillary Gardee killers
The police have activated their
72-hour plan to track down Hillary Gardee's killers.
Police Minister Bheki Cele says comforting is fine, but they expect more than that.
"We need to do what they expect and what they need to know, who did it and why. We gave ourselves 72 hours, we want to give ourselves less than that this time."
Cele confirmed officers are investigating a case of murder.
The 28-year-old daughter of former EFF secretary-general and attorney Godrich Gardee was reported missing on Friday.
She was last seen shopping at a supermarket in Nelspruit with a three-year-old girl, who was later found abandoned.

Cele visited the Gardee home in Mpumalanga yesterday - hours after Hillary's body was found dumped in a bush outside the city.
"For now, we a looking for a criminal who has killed. Let us get the person, if it's a political motive, economics or hate or passion, whatever kind. But we are not looking for a motive for now."
