"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.
