JOHANNESBURG – The murder case surrounding the death of Warrick ‘DJ Warras’ Stock has been transferred from the magistrate’s court to the Johannesburg High Court. Victor Majola and Armando Pacula appeared briefly before the court on Tuesday, marking a significant step in the legal proceedings.

The case continues to generate considerable public interest, with many awaiting the outcome of the trial and further clarity on the events leading to DJ Warras’s death. The High Court is expected to handle the case with due process and ensure a fair trial for all parties involved.
