THE BAIL application of five men accused of killing Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane is expected to resume in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
Lindokuhle Thabani Mkhwanazi, 30, Lindani Zenzele Ndimande, 35, Siyanda Eddie Myeza, 21, Mziwethemba Harvey Gwabeni, 36, and, Lindokuhle Lindo Ndimande, 29, all face 10 counts, including two of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition and five attempted murder counts. They also face additional charges of money laundering.
Last week, the court heard the bail applications of only Mkhwanazi and Siyanda Myeza, due to time constraints and incomplete affidavits.
The affidavits of the remaining accused are expected to be heard on Monday as Lindani Ndimande and Mziwethemba Gwabeni still had to submit additional information to their advocate, Joe Wolmarans.
Mkhwanazi and Myeza both informed the court that they intend to plead not guilty when the matter goes to trial. The men have outstanding cases against them and are currently out on bail for those cases.
Meanwhile, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed that the process to extradite two brothers who were arrested in Eswatini in connection with the February 2023 murders has begun.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, the NPA spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal, Natasha Ramkisson-Kara, said the process to extradite the murder-accused brothers was under way.
