was shot dead outside a Durban restaurant.

Durban - A team of KwaZulu-Natal detectives are poring over hundreds of hours of video footage, interviewing scores of people and trawling social media for any and every clue that could lead them to arresting the people behind the murders of rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and his close friend, Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane.

KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner, Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, speaking on Newzroom Afrika, said detectives were in the process of tracing the movements of the hitmen backwards in an effort to identify the killers.

He believed AKA was the main target of the hit and his friend, Motsoane was struck during cross fire.

“Our strategy is to trace the incident from the shooting backwards. How those people got to the spot (of the crime scene) , what was their communication and what were their movements.
