According to the indictment, the State believes that the men were being surveilled and AKA's movements from the time of his arrival at the King Shaka International Airport earlier that day, were monitored.
"When Forbes and Motsoane left the establishment around 10.20pm, this information was conveyed to those waiting outside who were to execute a plan to kill Forbes," the indictment claimed.
The State further claims that "all these relevant times during the commission of the offences, the accused acted in furtherance of a common purpose", as per the indictment.
