AKA murder trial set for October start

The trial of seven men accused of murdering rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane has been postponed. The matter was back before the Durban High Court on Thursday, where all accused appeared together for pre-trial as the case moves closer to trial proceedings. The trial was initially scheduled to begin on July 20, but has now been pushed back and is expected to run from October 5 to November 8.

The case will return to court on August 13 for the continuation of pre-trial proceedings. The accused remain in custody as the matter progresses through the court process.
