Kartel Inna Trouble

With legal afflictions which seem to increase daily, dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel allegedly has recorded an audio clip behind bars which is said to be proclaiming his innocence.

The clip in question is said to have surfaced on YouTube on the weekend with the deejay that has been in police custody since September 30, questioning the actions of the police.

It is said that this is the first fans have heard anything from Vybz Kartel since his arrest two weeks ago.

Initially, it is said that he was charged with illegal possession of ganja. Three others were also charged for the same offence. When the artiste appeared in court to answer to the ganja charge, Vybz Kartel is said to have pleaded not guilty.

Following that first charge, the police also searched properties in St Catherine and St Andrew supposedly owned by the artiste. After their massive search, Vybz Kartel was also allegedly charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder and possession of an illegal firearm.

The allegation is that on July 11 Kartel along with other men conspired to murder Barrington 'Bossie' Burton, 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.

In the two weeks Kartel has spent behind bars, it is said that he has made several trips to court to answer to the charges. Meanwhile, his fans on Facebook have allegedly created groups calling for his freedom.
