Vybz Kartel turns himself in

POPULAR dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel, is now being questioned by detectives at the Constant Spring Police Station.

Kartel turned himself in to the cops in the presence of his attorney Valerie Nieta-Robertson, a short while ago.

He and his dancehall rival Mavado were last night named as persons of interest by the police who want to interrogate both men in relation to a series of crimes committed in the division recently.

Kartel, whose real name is Adijah Palmer and Mavado, who real name is David Brooks, both wield considerable influence in the neighbouring communities of ‘Big Yard’ and Cassava Piece which are situated on Mannings Hill Road in St Andrew.

Gangs from both communities were at loggerheads for months during which several murders and shootings were committed. However a truce between both artistes led to a lull in the violence earlier this year.
