More and new developments in Vybz Kartel’s court case.
Yesterday texts were read in Court that painted a dark picture of events leading up to the disappearance of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams on August 16, 2011.
Corporal Sean Brown of the Organized Crime Investigation Division (OCID) attributed the texts to Williams and his girlfriend Onieka Jackson, as well as co-accused Shawn Storm.
Williams told his girlfriend that he was scared and begged her to call the police.
Williams told her in the texts that Vybz Kartel was going to kill him.
The texts were sent on August 16, 2011, the day when Kartel and his associates allegedly killed Williams in Havendale, St Andrew.
In the first of the texts sent at 6:58 pm Williams told Jackson, “I am really SCARDE baby please call the police u have to save me” Then at 7:08 pm Williams told Jackson “tell them Vybz Katel a go kill me please baby”.
In another text two minutes later Williams told Jackson “please u have to hurry up”. At 7:11 pm Williams texted “SHAWN cant save we please we inna Needfa car a drive go up there.”

Detective Corporal Shawn Brown, who made a PowerPoint presentation about one of the text messages, revealed in court today cell site evidence showing where the calls were made.According to Brown, several phone calls were made between Vybz Kartel, Clive Williams, Shawn Storm, and the prosecution star witness.
Brown showed the court the approximate area where the calls were made and received including a 4 and half minutes call from Kartel to Williams.
Vybz Kartel defense attorney Tom Tavares-Finson is expected to cross-examined Detective Corporal Shawn Brown tomorrow in court.
Perhaps the biggest development in Vybz Kartel and his co-accused murder trial are the text messages revealed by the prosecution yesterday in the Home Circuit court.
On August 17, 2011, a day after the alleged murder took place in Havendale, Shawn Storm reportedly sent a text to an unknown person sayin, “A di bwoy brown tief dem and run weh.” In another text message Shawn Storm sent was saying he don’t know why they running if they did nothing wrong.
Four days after the alleged murder, on August 20, 2011, Shawn “Storm” Campbell sent a text to the same unknown individual asking if he had hear that Clive Williams had ran away.
