Ninja Man charged with murder

Saturday, March 21, 2009

CONTROVERSIAL dancehall artiste Desmond Ballentine, better known as Ninja Man, was yesterday charged with Monday's gun slaying of a man on Marl Road in Kingston.

Head of the Major Investigations Task force (MIT), Assistant Police Commissioner Les Green, said Ballentine was charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm.

"He was questioned this afternoon and as a result of that interview the charges were laid," Green told the Observer last night. The police, he added, had a "good" case against Ballentine.

In the meantime, Superintendent Selvin Hay, also of the MIT, said that the police would continue their hunt for two other men implicated in the murder.
