Gardee family cries incompetence as police failed to see Hillary died from gunshot wound to the head
Tambo said the family had received no new updates from police.
“We don't know if there are any arrests or who the suspect or suspects are.”
He confirmed that the family had its own investigators trying to get to the bottom of what happened to Hillary.
Hillary, the eldest daughter of former EFF secretary-general Godrich Gardee, was found dead outside Mbombela on Tuesday, four days after she was last seen alive.
She was last seen shopping at a plaza in Mbombela on April 29 with her three-year-old adopted daughter. The little girl was found close to her home unharmed.
