Coincidence Or Connection?| AKA Murder Accused Also Linked To Nelli Tembe’s Tragic End
In the most recent update, a significant breakthrough has been achieved by the police in the murder investigation involving the renowned rapper AKA, known by his real name Kiernan Forbes.
According to a report from City Press, there have been further shocking developments in the murder investigation of rapper AKA, also known as Kiernan Forbes.
One of the murder suspects has been linked to the artist, and intriguingly, the same suspect was allegedly present during the tragic incident involving AKA’s fiancée, Anele “Nelli” Tembe, who passed away two years ago.
The tragic events unfolded on 11th February 2023 when AKA and his friend Tebello Tibz Motsoane were fatally shot in Durban.
Additionally, on 10th April 2021, Nelli Tembe tragically fell from the 10th floor of a hotel in Cape Town, losing her life. During that time, Tembe was accompanying AKA to a performance in the city.
AKA MURDER INVESTIGATION LATEST
According to sources in a City Press report, police have made the following developments in the murder investigation of AKA and Tibz.
- Confiscation of a firearm used in the murders, a prepaid airtime voucher, and the getaway car used in the hit
- The knowledge that AKA and Tibz were reportedly followed from the King Shaka Airport to the restaurant – Wish on Florida – where they had their last meal
- The murders were allegedly linked to a “feared and powerful” KwaZulu- Natal family. The family reportedly have ties in the taxi and construction industry.
- An alleged suspect – found with the murder weapon – has been “strategically charged with other offences as the investigators build a strong case around them in the murder of AKA and his manager.”
The publication also made another bombshell claim.
“One of the people [involved] was present at the scene where Nelisiwe ‘Nellie’ Tembe died. The person allegedly met with one of the suspects who has been arrested on a different charge and was [allegedly] involved in the shooting.”
During an interview with Bar Leader TV back in June 2021, AKA revealed that he and Nelli had enjoyed a lunch gathering with their friends on the day before her tragic passing. At that time, the couple was staying at the Pepperclub Hotel, located on Loop Street.
In the aftermath of Nelli’s untimely demise and the recent tragic loss of AKA due to murder, a confidential letter addressed to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) was leaked, shedding light on the Tembe family’s suspicions.
According to the letter, drafted by the family’s legal representatives, they harbored concerns that the rapper had purportedly played a role in pushing Nelli off the balcony.
Additionally, the letter outlined the family’s understanding of the events leading up to and following Nelli’s tragic fall.
