Vybz Kartel Remanded While Cronies Bail Extended

Vybz Kartel and his cronies are to return to court in November to answer to charges of perverting the course of justice.

Kartel, and his co-accused ‘Gaza Slim’ and ‘Pim-Pim appeared in court yesterday but the trial was postponed because of the absence of the presiding judge and the non-disclosure of statements to the defence. 

Vybz Kartel was remanded into custody while Gaza Slim and Pim-Pim had their bails extended. The case is set for trial on November 12 in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court.

Allegations are that Pim Pim assisted Gaza Slim also known as Vanessa Bling with a report she made to the Constant Spring Police last year that she had been robbed by Clive Lizard Williams after Kartel was arrested for his murder.

Also charged with Williams’ death are fashion designer Calvin 'Moonie' Haye, deejay Shawn Storm, and another man.

Vybz Kartel has been in lockup since October last year.
