Internationally acclaimed Dancehall superstar, Adidja Palmer, more popularly known as Vybz Kartel faces a longer wait regarding a decision on bail as he has been remanded once more in one of his murder cases.
Appearing in the Home Circuit Court on Friday, a bail application was expected to be made on the Portmore Empire deejay’s behalf in the Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams murder case. However, the application was delayed, forcing the judge to hand down a June 8 court date for Kartel as well as the co-accused in that matter: Shawn Campbell aka Shawn Storm, Kahira Jones, Shane Williams, Andre St. John and Calvin ‘Moonie’ Haye, who’s been on bail since January.
Each of the men stands accused of participating in the killing of Williams during an incident at a Havendale, St. Andrew residence last August. On Monday, the Crown handed over audio and video evidence to the defense that they say incriminates each of the men in Williams’ murder. Police stated that Williams was beaten and stabbed to death following an argument over the disappearance of illegal guns.
Meanwhile, Kartel will also be appearing in court on June 8 in regards to his other murder case. The self-proclaimed ‘Worl’ Boss,’ stands accused of murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm in the shooting death of St. Catherine based promoter/businessman, Barrington ‘Bossie’ Burton.
Kartel was granted JA$3 million bail in the Burton matter but cannot post it due to the fact that he has been remanded in connection to the Williams case.
A bail application will reportedly be made in the Burton case during Kartel’s next court appearance.
Lenburgh McDonaldand Nigel Thompson are also accused in the matter but have yet to post bond.
Vybz Kartel remains incarcerated in a Spanish Town based facility. He has been jailed since September of last year.
