CCTV footage that followed the last hours of rappers.
⠀.
The murder trial of South African rapper AKA reveals how investigators reconstructed the hours leading up to his death.
⠀.
Kiernan Forbes, known by the professional name AKA, and his friend Tabelo "Tibez" Motswana were shot outside a restaurant in Durban in February 2023.
⠀.
Seven men are currently on trial. They all pleaded guilty.
⠀.
In recent court proceedings, prosecutors have shown CCTV footage from several locations, including the airport, hotel and restaurant where the shooting took place.
⠀.
The footage shows the movements of the victims and what investigators describe as suspicious activity involving people allegedly connected to the attack.
⠀.
Vehicle tracking records have also become important evidence.
⠀.
On Nov. 2, defense attorneys reviewed evidence about the movements of rental vehicles that prosecutors say were used to follow the victims.
⠀.
The question is whether these records establish coordinated surveillance or whether the prosecution draws conclusions that the evidence cannot support.
