Vybz Kartel questioned today

Controversial dancehall entertainer, Adija Palmer, better known as Vybz Kartel, is expected to face questions from police investigators today. Kartel was expected to be interviewed on the weekend. However, the Head of the Criminal Investigation Branch, Assistant Commissioner Ealan Powell, said the interview was put off following a request from Kartel’s attorneys. Kartel is being represented by a team comprising Tom Tavares Finson, Christian Tavares Finson and Michael Deans. The entertainer was arrested on Friday morning at a small hotel in Kingston for illegal possession of marijuana. Three other persons who were in the company of the artiste were also arrested. However, the police have since widened the probe involving Kartel. Several houses owned and frequented by the artiste were searched by a strong joint police-military team on Friday. It follows the discovery of a partially burnt decomposing body at one of Kartel’s St. Andrew premises. The police said Kartel is to be questioned in relation to the discovery. (Jamaica Gleaner)
