AKA & Tibz Murders: Lawyer Disputes Suspects’ Involvement
AKA & Tibz Murders: Lawyer Disputes Suspects’ Involvement. In the latest development surrounding the high-profile case of the murders of South African rapper AKA and Tibz, the lawyer representing the suspects has vehemently disputed their involvement in the crime.
Five out of the seven individuals detained in connection with the planning and execution of AKA and Tibz’s murder appeared in the Magistrate’s Court in Durban on Wednesday for a second time. However, the matter has been postponed to 14 March for bail application and also to give the state enough time to file complete extradition documents.
Following the court session, the defence attorney stated that she finds it puzzling for a taxi operator to be implicated in the murder of AKA and Tibz unless one of the deceased’s family members is a taxi owner.
“The guys work hard, I know how it works right, you are earning enough from your taxi, you’ve got four or five taxis, you’re not going shooting people for 10K,” the lawyer for the accused said. “If there is a skirmish between myself and you and we both own taxis then what I’m going to do I’m going to shoot you for free if you’re going to intrude on my routes, nobody needs to pay me to shoot you. So that’s between you and me now.
“So I dont know how the taxi owners are related to this case unless the deceased or the deceased family are taxi owners,” the accused lawyer told NewzRoom Afrika.
