Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel has been sentenced to life behind bars for murder.The 38-year-old, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, was found guilty last month of murdering an old associate, Clive 'Lizard' Williams, in August 2011.
Jamaica's supreme court sentenced Kartel yesterday April 3rd after a 58-day trial, said to be the longest in the history of Jamaica's Circuit court. The musician's 3 other associates, Shawn Campbell, Kahira Jones and Andre St. John were also sentenced to life in prison.
The four men are accused of killing Clive after inviting him to Kartel's home to discuss two missing illegal hand guns. Though a body has never been found, the key piece of evidence that nailed Vybz was a text message that he sent from his phone which claimed 'Clive had been chopped up into so many pieces his body would never be found."
The star - who has previously rubbed shoulders with music A listers like Jay Z and Rihanna, will have to serve 35 years behind bars.
Williams was reportedly killed after he went to Kartel's home to discuss two missing illegal hand guns.
The star has been held on remand since 2011, but has reportedly continued to record songs from his cell using a smart phone.
He was previously arrested in 2011 on drug charges, which were later dropped.
If you recall,he has been accused of skin bleaching but claimed it was due to spending so much time in air-conditioned environment
Vybz is 38 years may only stand a chance at leaving prison at the age of 73.
