The men suspected of killing the rapper are currently making their first appearance at the Durban Magistrates Court. On 27 February, the police said the suspects followed AKA from the airport in Durban and to his hotel before they camped and ambushed him at the restaurant.
The arrest of the suspects resulted from a complex investigation involving DNA and fingerprint analysis, surveillance, and cooperation with Interpol. Two suspects were found in Eswatini and will be extradited to South Africa. The police also recovered four vehicles and firearms linked to the murders.
The motive for the killing is still unknown.
