JOHANNESBURG, GAUTENG — The lawyer of Victor Majola, who was arrested for the murder of Warrick "DJ Warras" Stock, said nothing was tying his client to the murder. Warras was killed on 16 December 2025 in the Johannesburg CBD.

Majola appeared before the Johannesburg Magistrates Court on 6 January 2026; his case was postponed. Speaking outside of the court, he confirmed that Majola faces a charge of premeditated murder, which falls under Schedule 6. This means that the likelihood of Majola receiving bail was slim.

Majola's lawyer discusses the case

Majola said that the onus is on him and the legal team to prove exceptional circumstances that he be released on bail. However, the lawyer was confident that his client would not be convicted. He said Majola was not arrested on the same day of the incident. He added that nothing was found in his possession when he was arrested.

"There's nothing that links this particular accused to this particular case. There's a statement by one of the co-accused whose charges were withdrawn to say that she links Mr Majola to this particular crime. There's no prima facie evidence against the accused, and we believe that under special circumstances, he should be released on bail.
