BAIL REFUSED FOR FIVE ACCUSED IN THE AKA AND TIBZ MURDER CASE
The five men arrested in connection with the murder of Kiernan Jarred Forbes (AKA) and Tebello Motsoane (Tibz), amongst other charges, appeared in the Durban Magistrates’ Court today for judgment on their application for bail.
The men: Lindokuhle Thabani Mkhwanazi (30), Lindani Zenzele Ndimande (35), Siyanda Eddie Myeza (21), Mziwethemba Harvey Gwabeni (36) and Lindokuhle Lindo Ndimande (29), appeared on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, murder (Forbes), murder (Motsoane), unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and five counts of attempted murder. The state also added two further charges of money laundering.
In February 2023, Forbes and Motsoane were shot and killed outside a restaurant on Florida Road, just outside the Durban CBD.
Today the five were denied bail with the court saying that it would be reckless and irresponsible to release the applicants out on bail.
The men will thus remain in custody and the case was remanded to 08 August 2024, for further investigations.
