Hillary Gardee was allegedly forced to withdraw money before being shot in the head execution-style.

This is according to the Gardee family.  The family’s spokesperson, Sinawo Tambo, says she was made to withdraw R1 300 before she was murdered.

He says the forensic team had found a bullet lodged in the back of Hillary’s head and believe there is a deeper motive to the murder.

Tambo says the Gardee family also have some concerns regarding the way the crime scene was handled by the police.

Hillary, the daughter of former EFF secretary general Godrich Gardee, went missing on Friday, and was last seen at the Spar Plaza in Mbombela wearing black pants and a black top.

A provincial police spokesperson, Col Donald Mdhluli, said community members on their way to work on Tuesday, had spotted a woman’s body and called the police.

“She was reportedly found with head wounds and was wearing the clothing she had last been seen wearing upon going missing last Friday,” said Mdhluli.
