It's understood that investigators attached to the Major Investigation Taskforce (MIT) on Monday evening charged the Gaza boss Vybz Kartel with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of firearm. However it's still unclear if the additional charge for marijuana possession will be laid against him as well.
A release from the police said that the charges against the entertainer,
whose real name is Adidja Palmer, were made after detectives from the MIT conducted an interview this afternoon in the presence of
his lawyers.
According to the official police document, “The allegation is that on Monday, July 11, 2011, Palmer, along with
other men, conspired to murder Barrington Burton o/c ‘Bossie’, a
27-year-old businessman/promoter of a Gregory Park address in St
Catherine. Burton was murdered while he was standing with friends along
Walkers Avenue in Gregory Park,.
Vybz Kartel was picked up by cops at a
hotel in New Kingston Friday morning, hours after he completed the
filming of season two of his television
series, Teacha's Pet. A small quantity of marijuana was found in the hotel
room and Kartel, along with three other persons were
charged with possession of the banned substance.

ReplyDeleteAll the children of GOD in JESUS CHRIST at least in the Caribbean need to pray for Vybz Kartel, so that he could have a change of heart and a change of life and be free from the evil that is using him to lead people down the dark road and causing him to harm himself, Vybz Kartel has a lot of fans if he goes towards the light and freedom of JESUS CHRIST who knows how many more people would follow him up that road? Just remember people, Vybz Kartel is a fellow human being who is not perfect like every one else and who appears to have been deceived and controlled by the evil operating behind the veil (like so many of the main stream musicians today) so be against his music and let people know that it is faulty but love the brother and pray for him so that he can change and be redeem by the love of GOD through JESUS CHRIST.
