Mpumalanga police have arrested a suspect in connection with the killing of former Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) General Secretary’s daughter Hillary Gardee who was found dead on Tuesday on the Lydenburg road outside Mbombela.

The announcement was made by Mpumalanga Police Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Semakaleng Manamela on Friday evening.

Manamela says the suspect was arrested in Schoemansdal near the Eswatini border.

“We are cracking this case and we are there. We are doing what is right and we are going to be getting all the information to ensure that more arrests will be made possible. The verification of information is precise and we are sure of what we are doing. The suspect right now that we are having in our hands is the correct suspect.”

Meanwhile, the Gardee family has welcomed the arrest.

Family Spokesperson, Sinawo Thambo says the family will not easily find closure: “We must be able to commend and compliment and applaud the hard work that police been doing. So, they have informed us that they are unable to divulge the identity of the suspect at this current time, because we must wait for the suspect to charged and to appear in court. We are going to respect this and let the law run its course. But I must convey one message with the public which the father of the late Hillary Gardee has is that he would have loved to have one opportunity to even if it is to speak through the holding cell or speak through a window and ask this individual why did he kill their daughter.”
