Tony Forbes rejected claims his late son killed fiancée Anele Tembe after former police minister Bheki Cele told parliament investigators had not ruled out murder in her death. The father told eNCA that Kiernan Forbes, known as rapper AKA, proposed to Tembe two weeks before she died and would never have harmed her.
Forbes said police statements have created a public perception that his son committed murder despite no evidence supporting that conclusion. He emphasized Kiernan did not murder, kill, or harm Tembe and described his son as incapable of such actions.
The elder Forbes continues thinking about both young people and maintains his son's innocence. Cele addressed the parliament's committee about the investigation into Tembe's death without providing definitive conclusions.
