Court to hear bid for separation of trials in AKA, Tibz murder case
Accused in AKA and Tibz murder trial pleaded not guilty to the charges in the Durban High Court.
The Durban High Court is set to consider an application for a separation of trials in the AKA and Tibz murder case, involving seven men accused of the killings. The trial, which commenced on Monday, has the accused pleading not guilty to a range of charges, including double murder, attempted murder, and firearms offences. The application, filed by accused number one, Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi, seeks to have accused number three, Siyanda Myeza, tried separately on counts 12 to 17.
These additional charges pertain to the 2022 murder of a taxi owner in Mayville, two counts of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and the theft of a motor vehicle.
