Hillary Gardee murder case: Police deny ignoring important information amid dad’s tweets

Hillary Gardee

Cape Town – Police have reportedly denied that they are holding information that could lead to the arrest of more suspects in the Hillary Gardee murder case.

This comes after Hillary’s father, Godrich Gardee, took to Twitter on Monday to criticise police for ignoring video footage that revealed the car registration of the alleged suspects who withdrew money using Hillary Gardee’s card moments before her murder.

“I have watched the video of the thugs getting out of the car to the ATM to withdraw the money of #HillaryGardee. @SAPoliceService was given the car registration number. They have not arrested anyone …. If I am assassinated,@SAPoliceService must answer!” Gardee wrote on Twitter on Monday morning.

According to IOL, police denied Gardee’s claims, saying they had no idea what other information Gardee had on the case.

“We don’t know what information they have which is going to shock the public. Our investigation has not stopped since the case was registered. We are still continuing with the investigation and should there be any new suspect(s) detected and linked, we will not hesitate to arrest them,” police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala said as quoted by the report.
