Police have confirmed the arrest of six people in connection with the murders of renowned rapper Kiernan Forbes, widely known as AKA, and his friend, Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane.
Both men were shot and killed in February 2023 outside a popular restaurant on Durban’s Florida Road.
Following a year-long investigation, police said the attack on the multi-award-winning rapper was a planned hit.
It was also revealed during an urgent press briefing in Durban on Tuesday night that one person linked to the case is still at large.
Police top brass told journalists that the six suspects were behind bars.
KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi said each suspect played a different role in what he described as a hit.
“We have a coordinator, who is basically the master of everything, he is in custody. We have two shooters that you all saw on social media, we had two spotters, one of the spotters was inside the restaurant watching Mr Forbes.”
Mkhwanazi added that the guns and cars used for the fatal incident were all traced to have been hired.
“The vehicle used as a getaway and the firearms used to shoot were all hired.”
The group will appear in court on Thursday, with police saying more arrests are imminent.
