The suspect linked to the murder of slain media personality Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock will remain in custody after he was denied bail.
Victor Mthethwa Majola appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
He faces charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with Stock’s killing following his arrest on 22 December 2025.

Stock was fatally shot on 16 December outside a building near the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg’s central business district (CBD).
It is believed he was approached by three unknown suspects who opened fire before fleeing the scene on foot.
He was laid to rest on 23 December following a funeral service at the Rosebank Catholic Church.

Delivering her judgment, the magistrate found that Majola does not have a fixed address.
“The applicant submitted two conflicting addresses,” she said.
The presiding officer found that the video provided by Majola is unreliable and may have been edited.

“What I have noted from the video footage, it is not clear. It is blurry and blacked out,” she remarked.
The magistrate further highlighted that Majola’s alibi was not tested in court.
She, therefore, rejected his bail application.
The case has been postponed to 11 February for further investigations.
