AKA’s death was an assassination, say police

Police have confirmed the murder of rapper Kiernan “AKA” Forbes was an assassination.

In a television interview, KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi said from the evidence they collected, they had no doubt the murder was a hit.

“He did not shoot the friend that was with him, but he shot AKA twice, and he ran away. The other criminal engaged and fired a couple of shots, and one of his bullets managed to strike Motsoane, and he died. Mkhwanazi said they believed the second suspect was firing to make sure no-one responded to the initial hit on AKA.
