The SMS tip-off police used to arrest Sipho Mkhatshwa and charge him with Hillary Gardee's murder was allegedly sent from the number of his fiancee's former mother-in-law.
Translated into English the first SMS reads: “I cleansed him and then gave muthi ... he found the girl he wanted. He said she has children who are fair skinned [albinism].
“He further said to me that I should give him R2m and he will give me the children so I can make muthi for good luck. I told him I do not use human body parts when I concoct muthi.” Magagula, who has two children who have albinism, told the court she believed the bogus tip-off was sent by her ex-husband.Magagula said she and Mkhatshwa had previously received threatening texts, with some alleging Mkhatshwa was planning to sell her children.
He was arrested and charged with the murder of Hillary Gardee, who was the daughter of former EFF secretary-general Godrich Gardee. Gardee went missing on April 29 after going shopping with her daughter. The three-year-old girl was dumped a few streets from their home unharmed, while Gardee’s body was found dumpedWould you like to comment on this article?
