Lynn Forbes has said that she believes some details around her son AKA’s murder will always remain a mystery.
Glammy – as she is affectionately known – was speaking at the Metropolitan Thematic Media Roundtable on Wednesday, 27 September.
AKA’S MUM NOT CONFIDENT THEY’LL EVER KNOW THE MASTERMIND
AKA, real name Kiernan Jarryd Forbes, and his friend Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane were gunned down on 10 February outside Wish on Florida road in Durban.

Lynn said that she is not eagerly waiting for answers because she already knows how the Company hitmaker died, further saying she doubts they’ll ever know who the mastermind is.
“I am not waiting for answers because it will consume me. I am trying to continue and not look for closure because seeing my son die in that video, and seeing what happened to him, was enough closure for me.
“I still remain confident, but it’s not something I wait for. I do think that there will be an arrest on who pulled the trigger, but I am not confident that we will ever know who paid for the bullet,” Lynn said.

She also said that information they’ve received as a family about the investigation is the same information the police has been giving to the public.
“To hear information about your son’s murder and not knowing what to make sense of it and the confusion around it – so I do feel like it’s a very tough thing to deal with for me. I guess over time I have learnt that I need to find my way through the toughest times; you need to have resilience. I’m not saying that’s okay. But the information that’s out there is the information I have. I have nothing else.”

LATEST POLICE UPDATE ON MURDERS
During a police briefing on Tuesday, Police Minister Bheki was questioned about the latest updates on AKA and Tibz’s murder investigation, to which he said “the cars have been found, people have been identified and the firearm used has been found.”
“They are chasing these people and are not far from dealing the final blow to this case,” said Cele.
“This has taken some time for the family, friends and the nation but he was a well-known figure, AKA. But we request that police be given space to resist the push that might end in breaking their case even before they achieve the proper investigation. But it is continuing.”

Earlier this month, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Police Commissioner, Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, gave a similar update, adding that they have “downloaded more than 25 cell phones.”
“It’s all from people of interest that might contain information. Cell phones of people who might have been in the area or might have communicated with the deceased. Or any other people associated with the deceased,” Mkhwanazi said.
