Meanwhile, a team of KwaZulu-Natal detectives are reportedly watching hundreds of hours of video footage, interviewing scores of people and trawling social media for any and every clue that could lead them to arrest those behind the murders.

DETECTIVES ARE TRACING THE MOVEMENTS OF THE KILLERS

KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Police Commissioner, Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, speaking on Newzroom Afrika, said detectives were in the process of tracing the movements of the hitmen in an effort to identify the killers.

He believed AKA was the main target of the hit and Motsoane was struck during crossfire.

Mkhwanazi said the strategy of the police is to trace the incident from the shooting backward.

“The investigation that we are rolling out and the strategy we are employing is that we are tracing it back .., from the shooting backwards, as to how those people get called to that spot from the first place and everything else that involves their communication, their movements, and so forth,” Mkhwanazi said.

POLICE HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DATA TO PIECE TOGETHER

Mkhwanazi said detectives were going through a massive amount of data to piece together the events leading up to the shooting – and after the shooting.

He added there was no doubt in his mind that AKA’s murder was a “contract killing”.

“From the police, from the evidence that you collected, we have no doubt. But from what we have seen as the police is that two criminals walk across the street and there’s one that walked past and stood on this side of the road, and another one walks around the car and shoots only AKA behind his ear. He did not shoot the friend that was with him. He only shot AKA. Double shots, and they ran away,” he said.

Mkhwanazi said what the police did know was that AKA had an enemy that wanted him dead.

POLICE SAID AKA HAD AN ENEMY THAT WANTED HIM DEAD

“Whether the enemy was a person that happened to be in that street at that time, or the enemy was somebody that was travelling with him from wherever he was coming to that area. Or the enemy is somebody that he might have had a clash with in the past somewhere for reasons unknown to us. So we are trying to piece everything together, so they were able to get answers. That’s why it is unfair for us to say right now what could have been the reason.

“We are looking at that case, we are (looking) at any beef that he might have had with whoever through social media that we know of or at public places and other conflicts that he might have had,” Mkhwanazi added.

Mkhwanazi said police are looking at his lifestyle, who were his friends and who he was in contact with, and who were the people he might have had a conflict with that might have wanted him dead.
