## AKA’s Fiancée Death
In February 2023, South African rapper Kiernan 'AKA' Forbes was shot and killed outside a restaurant in Durban.
## Fiancée’s Fall
On April 11, 2021, Anele 'Nellie' Tembe fell from the 10th floor of the Pepperclub Hotel in Cape Town.
## Investigation Status
The National Prosecuting Authority declined to prosecute anyone in the case in June 2022, returning it to police for further review.
## Family Allegations
Tembe’s family claims AKA pushed her from the balcony, cleaning blood and evidence afterward.
## Doctor’s Testimony
The doctor found fresh scratches and bruises on AKA during a tense examination where he was stressed and agitated.

> The physical examination was done on the patient after exposing his full body. He had many fresh scratch marks. It was quite a tense examination. He wasn’t answering all my questions as I was putting them to him. We convinced him to undress so we could go through the full-body examination. I could understand that at that particular time, he was a bit stressed and agitated. So, we couldn’t get a proper history of how he got his bruises.
## Key takeaway

AKA’s doctor found fresh scratches and bruises after he allegedly pushed fiancée from 10th floor balcony in Cape Town.
