BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – EVIDENCE in the form of text messages was recently heard during the Vybz Kartel murder trial last week, which allegedly came from Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams informing his girlfriend that he was being transported to a Havendale house and feared that he was going to be killed.
According to the Jamaican Gleaner, one of the persons called to testify in the case, Detective Corporal Shawn Brown, made a PowerPoint presentation of the text messages that were made on August 16, 2011, the same day that Williams was killed, reportedly over two missing guns.
The entity said, “In the series of messages read out in court, Williams allegedly urged his girlfriend to contact his sister for her to call police. In one of the messages, Williams told his girlfriend that ‘Teacha’, referring to Vybz Kartel, had sent to call him.”
The Gleaner further stated that in another message from the deceased, Williams notified his girlfriend that he was “really scared”, urging the woman to speedily call the police. The evidence also revealed he mentioned that he was being transported in a car to Havendale.
“The police believed that Williams was killed at Vybz Kartel’s Havendale house. The court also viewed text message evidence purportedly from Shawn Campbell alias 'Shawn Storm' to Kartel,” the Gleaner said.
It was also stated that in one of the messages, Campbell told Kartel that they had to get back “dem ting deh”. In another message that Campbell sent to an unknown person, he noted that something is going on.
“In a series of messages to the same unknown person, Campbell reportedly said people are going to die.” the Gleaner said.
