By Jennifer S. Kuwanta
In a recent update on the ongoing investigations into the tragic demise of Kiernan Jarryd, widely known as AKA, the Police Minister has shed light on the progress made.
Recall that the renowned hip-hop musician met a cruel fate on February 10, falling victim to a fatal shooting outside a restaurant on Florida Road in Durban, South Africa.
During an interview with Faith Mangope on Metro FM, the minister disclosed that several individuals identified as close associates of the late rapper AKA, have been apprehended in connection with the murder. He went on to reveal that, on the day of the tragic incident, the police successfully located both the getaway vehicle and the weapon used in the crime.
The minister reported that, at present, two suspects are in custody, emphasizing that their safety is of utmost concern due to the potentially crucial information they may possess about the motives behind the musician’s untimely death. The developments in the investigation signify a significant stride toward uncovering the truth and seeking justice for the late AKA.
His remarks: “We have found the getaway car, the gun has been found. They have found two people who I know for sure are kept safe because they know very well what happened on the particular day, who have given information for the police to get the gun, for the police to get the car.
“Those things are in the hands of the police as we speak. We know who we are chasing. And those two guys must be kept very safe because they know what happened on that day, and even beyond what happened, [they know] about the networks that led to the unfortunate murder of AKA.”
The police minister added: “Those people … some of them were hired. Some of those people were close associates.”
