"The Economic Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) welcomes the arrest of three suspects, in the investigation of the brutal murder of Hillary Gardee. After a commitment to make concrete progress on finding the perpetrators in a short period of time, the South African Police Service (SAPS) have not only made good on their promise after the arrest of a suspect on the eve of Hillary's funeral, but have apprehended two more suspects. The family and the EFF will allow the police to continue with their work, and ensure that they are provided with all manner of resources to enhance their investigation..."
