Dead Body Found In House Owned By Vybz Kartel

Police sources have indicated that controversial deejay Vybz Kartel is being questioned in relation to a body that was found in a house reportedly owned by him in Havendale, St Andrew. The body was found a few weeks ago the source said.

"The body was partially burnt and was decomposing. A section of the premises was also burnt," the source said.

Vybz Kartel was picked up by cops at a hotel in New Kingston early this morning hours after he completed the filming of season two of a television series, Teacha's Pet. A small quantity of marijuana was found in the hotel room and Vybz Kartel, along with three other persons have since been charged with possession of the banned substance.

Police have promised to release a statement later today and are scheduled to reveal further details during a press conference early next week.

It is unlikely that Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, will be offered bail before next week.
