  "account": "CCTV footage played a crucial role in the murder trial of rapper Kiernan \"AKA\" Forbes and his friend, celebrity chef Tebello \"Tibz\" Motsoane in Durban High Court. Prosecutors presented video evidence showing a vehicle near the Wish restaurant before and after the fatal shooting in 2023. Constable Rajen Sanders, a state witness, testified about the similarities between the vehicle captured on CCTV and another found in Cato Manor a month later. Sanders highlighted that the recovered Mercedes-Benz in Cato Manor shared the same license plate placement, color, non-functioning left headlight, and rims with the getaway vehicle used in the shooting. The defense sought to oppose the admission of a photo album containing over 50 photographs related to the Cato Manor scene, but the trial proceeded.",
  "summary": "The court heard that a vehicle was seen around Wish restaurant before the shooting.",
