Police question two suspects in murder of DJ Warras

In a significant development in the investigation into the shocking murder of popular DJ and businessman Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock, police have confirmed that two individuals have been taken in for questioning.

Stock, a much-loved former personality at Y-FM and Gagasi FM, was tragically shot and killed last week at a hijacked building in Johannesburg, a locale that has become synonymous with crime and lawlessness.

According to the police, Stock was approached by three men — all captured on CCTV footage — who opened fire before fleeing the scene on foot, leaving in their wake a community grappling with grief and disbelief.

National Police Spokesperson Athlenda Mathe expressed optimism regarding the case, stating, “You will recall that National Commissioner Fannie Masemola had committed that by Monday there will be a breakthrough in this particular case. We can confirm that Gauteng police, led by Lieutenant General Tommy Mthombeni, have taken in two people for questioning.” This promising news comes as the investigation is still in its early stages, yet it reflects a concerted effort by law enforcement to bring clarity and justice to a bereaved community.

The losses felt by Stock's family, friends, and his devoted listeners were palpable during a moving memorial service held in Sandton last Friday, where numerous colleagues and admirers took turns to pay tribute to the influential figure. Many described him as a fearless advocate for truth, compassion, and an unwavering love for the people of South Africa. His charisma and commitment to his craft resonated deeply with fans who turned out to honour his memory.

Friends and family continue to seek solace in memories shared with Stock, mourning the loss of a beloved entertainer whose life was tragically cut short, with the entertainer's sister, Nicole Stock, describing her brother as an epitome of love.

“He was the epitome of love. He was love in flesh and blood.I realised today that he never belonged just to us. He belonged to a country, he belonged to a nation, and he belonged to the people.”
