Forbes explained that he has not carried any hate toward AKA and Tibz’s alleged murderers. He shared that he attended the first bail hearing for the alleged murderers. This was in hopes of finding some form of closure.

“I mean, there are so many questions that can be asked. I guess the thing for me is that, you know, I've not walked around for the last two and a half years hating these people. I've forgiven you know. At the first bail hearing, I wanted to see those people's faces in court, and that happened,” Tony Forbes said.

“If I had to talk to them, I mean, for me, there's only really one question, and I doubt that they'll be able to answer the question or would be willing to. But you know, for me, what we mustn't forget is that the person who commissioned this is not in that group of seven. So, my questions, you know, not necessarily to them, but to, you know, overall, would relate to you know who commissioned this? Where did it start? Who is behind this? Those are the questions that I think are most relevant for me. Forgiving them, I mean, that's happened. I still want to see justice, of course, but my questions would still relate to, you know, who ordered this?” Tony Forbes asked.
