Vybz Kartel, cronies to be tried in Supreme Court
THE murder trial involving caged deejay Vybz Kartel and three of his alleged cronies has been transferred to the Home Circuit Court.
A voluntary bill of indictment was served for the case against the four to be transferred to the higher court today. The case, which involves the murder of Clive 'Lizard Williams' will be heard in the Home Circuit Court this afternoon.
However, two more co-accused Andre St John and Sean Williams, will be heard in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday as their names were not included in the list of those be transferred.
The deejay who is charged for murder, conspiracy to murder, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of ganja will get a chance to defend himself against the ganja charge on February 13.
Meanwhile, lawyers representing female deejay Vanessa 'Gaza Slim' Saddler, are making a bail application on her behalf in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court. Saddler is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice after she made a report to the police that Williams had robbed her. Police say they have telephone evidence that she was instructed to make the report.
Williams' body has not yet been found.
