Incarcerated dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel has been transferred from the Horizon Adult Remand Centre

Incarcerated dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel has been transferred from the Horizon Adult Remand Centre to the maximum security Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre.

We understands that the controversial entertainer, whose real name is Adijah Palmer, was removed from the Spanish Town Road, Kingston-based Horizon facility and transferred to the Tower Street Correctional Facility in downtown Kingston under heavy police guard on Tuesday.

Details as to why he was moved are still unclear.

There has been speculation that he was removed because of a suspected breach committed at Horizon Adult Remand Centre. 

Vybz Kartel and associates Shawn ‘Shawn Storm’ Campbell; Kahira Jones; and Andre St John were sentenced to life imprisonment for the August 2011 murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams.

Despite his incarceration, Vybz Kartel still dominates the airwaves in Jamaica with new releases said to be recorded before he was locked up
