Accused’s BMW in focus at AKA, Tibz murder trial
The court heard that they later followed the crew to Florida Road, where AKA and Tibz were murdered.
Mziwethemba Gwabeni, one of seven accused in the murder trial of Kiernan "AKA" Forbes and Tebello "Tibz" Motsoane, has admitted to owning a grey BMW that prosecutors allege was used to track Forbes and his crew before their murder in Durban in February 2023. The vehicle allegedly followed Forbes and his entourage from King Shaka International Airport to Florida Road, where AKA and Tibz were killed.
A mechanic who testified in court said Gwabeni later asked him to sell the car as repairs had become too expensive. The mechanic claimed the vehicle's new owner was later stopped by police, who said it had been stolen. Gwabeni's lawyer stated the BMW is one of several vehicles the client owns and is sometimes used by his staff.
