Police Minister Bheki Cele also visited the site where Hillary’s body was found, saying that though the motive behind her murder is unknown, his department is committed to finding whoever did the heinous crime.
“We have a criminal out there who murdered a young human being, it does look like in a brutal way. So let us get that person… it will help us [to know] if there are politics in it, economics in it if it’s just hate, passions, whatever kind,” the report quoted Cele as saying.
