US EditionNews24 | No Bail for Katiso Molefe in DJ Sumbody, DJ Vintos Murders
Bail was denied due to strengthened evidence including telecom links, unexplained cash deposits, prior convictions, and concerns over witness safety and flight risk, magistrate said.
- On 20 August 2025, the Alexandra Magistrates' Court rejected bail for businessman Katiso 'KT' Molefe in connection with the November 2022 murder of DJ Sumbody and his two bodyguards in Woodmead, Johannesburg.
- The bail denial followed allegations that Molefe organised the execution-style murder amid a feud over a multimillion-rand drug deal, supported by cellphone and WhatsApp records showing coordination after the killings.
- Magistrate Renier Boshoff highlighted evidence including large unexplained cash deposits, the accused phones connecting to the same tower on the murder day, and ongoing contact via WhatsApp between Molefe and co-accused.
- Boshoff noted that the cellphone data related to these alleged incidents revealed notable details, but concluded that Molefe had not demonstrated the exceptional circumstances required for bail under the law.
- Molefe will remain detained until his scheduled court date on 18 September 2025, highlighting ongoing concerns about the safety of witnesses and his connections to multiple violent crimes, including a 2024 murder charge in a separate case.
