More murder charges for Vybz Kartel?

Jamaica Observer

Wednesday, October 12, 2011



JAILED Jamaican dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel may face additional murder charges, a highly-placed police source has told the Observer. The deejay is scheduled to appear in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court this morning to face charges of murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm after being denied bail on a drug possession charge yesterday.

The Observer source said Kartel is also being investigated for his role in the double murder of two men in Portmore, St catherine earlier this year.

"We definitely are looking into his role in the double murder of two men in Portmore and charges relating to that incident may be levelled at him soon," the source said.

Vybz Kartel was arrested two Fridays ago at a hotel in New Kingston by cops from the Flying Squad. He and three other persons who were found in his company were charged after the cops found more than four ounces of ganja.
