According to the South African Police Service (SAPS), the gun used in the murders of Kiernan ‘AKA’ Forbes and Tebello ‘Tibz’ Motsoane has been found.

AKA and Tibz were shot and killed on 10 February 2023 after exiting Wish restaurant on Florida Road in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.

On Wednesday, 6 September, the KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi addressed the media on the police’s findings.

He stated, “We have identified a couple of vehicles that were used. Some of the vehicles were used as getaway [vehicles]. Some were used as spotters. Some may have been used by people after the fact.”

He continued, “We had identified at least one firearm that has been used and positively identified to have shot and killed Mr Forbes on that evening.”

The Lieutenant General also stated that SAPS “identified a few individuals” and that they would be in discussion with the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) about bringing them in for questioning.

Police say they have identified the gun used to kill AKA, according to Commissioner Lt Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi police have also positively identified the getaway car used.

In May, rumours about a possible murder weapon were swirling around. According to TimesLIVE, it was alleged that a gun was found in the possession of a man in his early 20s in Umlazi, south of Durban, and that the ballistic testing allegedly proved the gun was linked to the murders.

However, at that time, police refuted the claims, calling them unsubstantiated and malicious.
