# The murder trial into the deaths of Kiernan “AKA” Forbes and Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane is underway in the High Court in Durban, amid changes to defence teams. Accused Lindokuhle Mkhwanazi is seeking to separate his trial from that of Siyanda Myeza, who faces six additional charges. Advocate Muzi Mzelemu will now represent Mkhwanazi and Lindani Ndimande, while Advocate William Nicholson replaces Advocate Jimmy Howse for Mziwethemba Gwabeni. Judge Nomfundo Sipunzi has directed the State and defence to resolve outstanding legal issues. Seven accused face charges, including conspiracy to commit murder.
