Police in KwaZulu-Natal have dismissed media reports alleging a firearm used in the killing of hip-hop star Kiernan “AKA” Forbes has been recovered.
This comes after reports that a man in his early 20s was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm in Umlazi, south of Durban, at the weekend.
It was reported the firearm was sent for ballistic testing and came back positive as the weapon used to gun down Forbes. “Some media houses, who clearly seem hell-bent to botch any police endeavours to find the killers and bring justice to the families of the victims, started the day on Tuesday morning with unsubstantiated rumours and malicious allegations about the recovery of the so-called murder weapon,” said provincial police spokesperson Lt-Col Robert Netshiunda.
“This insensitive, unethical and inconsiderate reporting has great potential of arming the persons of interest with ammunition to further complicate police progress into the matter.” He said allegations of this nature put the investigating team under undue pressure and endanger their lives.
