WATCH | Six suspects arrested in connection with AKA, Tibz killings

Police Minister Bheki Cele confirmed on Tuesday evening that 6 suspects have been arrested.

The suspects are due to appear in court on Thursday.

AKA (Kiernan Forbes) was shot dead, alongside Tebello Mostoane (Tibz) last year in front of a restaurant on Florida Road, Durban.

Police say the arrests include two suspects  -- who were arrested in Eswatini on Saturday.

Meanwhile, earlier this month AKA’s father, Tony Forbes cut a frustrated figure over the communication from police about his son’s murder.

On the anniversary of the killing, Forbes wished there were frequent updates from officials instead of politicizing the killing.
