There are no exceptional circumstances to warrant the release of the suspected hitmen charged with the February 2023 murder of rapper Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and his friend, businessman Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane, the State has submitted.
Lindokuhle Thabani Mkhwanazi, 30, Lindani Ndimande, 35, Siyanda Myeza, 21, Mziwethemba Gwabeni, 36, and Lindokuhle Ndimande, 29, returned to the Durban Magistrate's Court on Friday for the finalisation of arguments in their bail application.
The alleged hitmen face charges of murder, attempted murder, money laundering, as well as the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. They have denied any involvement in the murder.
