Vybz Kartel charged with murder

Major Investigation Taskforce (MIT) investigators this evening charged Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adijah Palmer, with murder, illegal possession of firearm and conspiracy to murder.

The charges against Palmer were made following the conduct of an interview this afternoon by detectives from the MIT in the presence of his attorneys.

The allegation is that on Monday, July 11, 2011, Palmer along with other men conspired to murder Barrington ‘Bossie’ Burton , a 27-year-old businessman and promoter of a Gregory Park address in St. Catherine.

Burton was murdered while he was standing with friends along Walkers Avenue in Gregory Park.

The preliminary hearing will take place tomorrow at the Half Way Tree Resident Magistrate’s Court.

The police said the arrest is part of a wider investigation into the activities of the entertainer.

Last Friday, a joint police-military team conducted an operation during which several houses owned and frequented by the artiste were searched.

It followed the discovery of a partially burnt and decomposing body at one of Kartel’s St. Andrew premises.

A wha the?

[Mosiah]

Can u imagine! King of Dancehall (all respect due to Beenie Man) charged with very serious crimes.

Sad to see a smart guy come to this. Reminds me of Tupac Shakur. At least Vibes is still alive!

Apart from that, can't say I am deeply cut up about this.

[Mosiah]

Why is it that Buju's arrest was more shocking than Vibes'?

[Historian]

Nothing to say, Boss

No treatise this time, Exile my friend .

My position on the Caribbean’s most extreme and “unmusical” music genre and its practitioners is well known by now. As I’ve always said here, we Jamaicans are in some ways our worst enemy, including some of the things we enthusiastically support and endorse simply because they fall under the “Jamaica Brand” name.

Just remember my prediction, first made here about two years ago, that the doors of the Caribbean and, indeed, most of the region, will be gradually closed to the so-called dancehall culture. This is not a wild guess.

Much Ado About Nothing!

Wanna stake a bet, anyone?

I’m prepared to bet, right here and now, that nothing of significance is going to come out of this case, except maybe a hefty fine for marijuana possession. Personally speaking, I attach very little significance to this news, as it is merely the latest "hot" one from our lovely, incompetent, drama-filled island nation.

[Islandman]

I can't say I find it surprising. Vybz runs or at the very least is the public image of an organization that acts like a drug cartel (pun intended) . It might have been a year ago when I said that Gaza reminds me of Suge Knights Death Row in terms of how it treats its artistes and the people who do business with them.

have major doubts that they can get any kind of conviction unless someone really wants to make an example out of him.

[Reggaedoc]

Indeed indeed. A real justice system took down Suge Knight. Can a monte trick system of justice take down Kartel? Probably not. He is laughing all the way to the bank with this new-found sympathy and publicity.

The DPP is a paper tiger, and the police can't do a proper investigation.

[Sickko]

The police has been after Vybz for a long time and you kept hearing rumours and whispers that he is heavily into gun running and drugs smuggling

I am hoping they have enough here to make a dent and this is not just some thing to get him off the road for a while.

There are even stronger rumours about the Don in August Town but they cant seem to make a case against him..

Clever theatrics worl' boss...clever theatrics indeed...
