Five out of the seven men arrested in connection with the tragic murder of musician Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his celebrity chef friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane have been denied bail.
The decision was made by Judge Vincent Hlatshwayo at the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
Forbes and Motsoane lost their lives after being shot outside the now-closed Durban restaurant, Wish, on February 10, 2023.
The denial of bail means that Lindokuhle Thabani Mkhwanazi, Lindani Ndimande, Siyanda Eddie Myeza, Mziwethemba Harvey Gwabeni, and Lindokuhle Ndimande, who were arrested in connection with the murder, will remain in custody at Westville Prison.
The suspects were charged with conspiracy to commit murder, murder, five counts of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and money laundering. Additionally, they face several other pending matters independent from this case.
