Seven suspects have been arrested in connection with the assassination of Kiernan AKA Forbes, the renowned rapper who was tragically shot dead alongside his friend, celebrity chef Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane last year in Durban.
Police Minister Bheki Cele has confirmed that six suspects have been apprehended in connection to the killings of AKA and Tibz. The arrests, which include two suspects detained in eSwatini on Saturday, are a result of the diligent efforts of the police in bringing these alleged killers to justice.
It is believed by the authorities that the multi-award-winning artist was the primary target of the attack, and Tibz was not intended to be killed. The assailants had planned to strike while AKA was in a vehicle, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he lingered outside the restaurant conversing with friends longer than expected.
The tragic incident took place just over a year ago outside a restaurant in Durban on 10 February 2023 and Minister Bheki Cele said the suspects will appear before the court on Thursday.
