From The Jamaica Observer
THE prosecution in the murder case of entertainer Vybz Kartel and his three co-accused revealed for the first time in court yesterday that it has video and telephone evidence tying the accused men to the killing of a man in August of this year.

According to the Crown, the evidence, when disclosed in full to the defence, will cause the lawyers to advise their clients to plead guilty to the charges against them.

It was not specified which of the accused men were on the video but the Court was told the it showed Clive 'Lizard' Williams being mobbed and beaten to death.

The revelation was made when the men appeared before Senior Corporate Area Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey.

Included in the case file, the court was told, are statements implicating the men.
Kartel — whose real name is Adidja Palmer — fellow artiste Shawn 'Shawn Storm' Campbell; fashion designer Calvin Haye; and Cayro Jones are charged with Williams' murder on August 16.

Williams, according to the police, was stabbed and shot to death over a missing illegal firearm. His body has not been found.
