Personal information belonging to Warrick Stock, commonly known as DJ Warras, was found on the phone of the man arrested in connection with his murder.
Victor Majola appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrates Court on Tuesday where he is applying for bail.
Majola was arrested on 22 December, six days after Stock was gunned down in the Johannesburg CBD.
He is charged with premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
According to the Investigating Officer in the case, Abe Montwedi, details and images related to the vehicle Stock was driving were found on Majola’s phone.
“When I switched on the applicant’s phone, I saw that the deceased’s registration papers were on the phone. It had the address and everything, the full names of the owner of the car. It also had the registration papers of the partner of the deceased,” he said.
Montwedi said Majola’s girlfriend, known only as Hlengiwe, against who Stock had applied for a protection order prior to his murder, was the one who sent Majola the information.
“When I checked the lady’s phone, I saw that she was the one who forwarded the pictures to the applicant.”
