AKA, whose real name was Kiernan Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane, were gunned down at The Wish restaurant on Florida Road in Durban on 10 February.

CCTV footage that was widely circulated showed gunmen ambushing and killing them before running on foot.

In February, KZN commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi said the cops have ideas who the killers are.

“We have not yet arrested anyone, but we have interviewed different people and obtained statements. We have also collected cell phones and are busy downloading some of them. We have also received our ballistic report from forensics, so there is still work the team is busy with,” he had said at the time.
