Thirty-eight-year-old Vybz Kartel (real name Adidja Palmer) was found guilty of killing Williams at his house in Havendale on August 16 2011.

In passing down the sentences, Justice Lennox Campbell outlined that he took into consideration the fact that the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams on August 16, 2011 was planned and premeditated; that Williams' body had been concealed; the mental stress Williams had been put through before his murder; and the attempt to destroy evidence.

According to reports Williams was killed after being accused of stealing two guns from Kartel and other members of his crew. His body was never found. Cops, however, found a text message that Kartel allegedly wrote: "Tween me an u a chop we chop up the bwoy Lizard fine fine. Yeah man a mince meat dat … As long as u live dem can never find him."
