YBZ Kartel along with three of co-defendants; Shawn Campbell, Kahira Jones and Andre St John have been found guilty of the murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams. Shane Williams another accused was found not guilty and was cleared of wrongdoing.

The eleven-member deliberated for 1 hour and 53 minutes before returning a 10-1 verdict. Kartel and his co-defendants will be sentenced on March 27and are facing life imprisonment.

Prosecutors alleged Williams was beaten to death at Kartel’s home in Havendale, St Andrew in August 2011 after being lured there to answer for two missing illegal guns. His body has never been found. However, Police testified they retrieved a text message from Kartel’s phone saying Williams was chopped up in "mincemeat” so fine that his remains would never be found. Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been in jail since September 2011 in connection with the killing.

 

The 65-day trial was the longest running criminal hearing in the history of Jamaica’s circuit court system.
