Embattled dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel was remanded in the Home Circuit Court today in relation to the Clive lizard Williams murder case.
Supreme Court judge Leighton Pusey ordered that Kartel and the others with whom he is charged return to court on January 13 next year.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is charged jointly with fellow deejay Shawn Campbell more popularly known as Shawn Storm, fashion designer Calvin 'Moonie' Haye and Kiro Jones.
Two other men have been charged by the police in relation to Williams killing.
The Home Circuit Court was told that the case against the two is before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate Court.
The case against Kartel, Shawn Storm, Haye and Jones was transferred from the RM court this morning to the circuit court.
Attorney-at-law Valerie Neita-Robertson today complained that the crown did not inform the defence of its plan to have the case moved to circuit court.
Neita-Robertson said the defence was upset by the decision, as it had plans to make a bail application noting that Kartel and his co-accused have been in custody since October.
Justice Pusey ordered the crown to provide the defence with copies of statements and video recordings allegedly linking the men to the killing before 2 o clock tomorrow afternoon.
The judge also ordered the crown to turn over all material in its possession to the defence before 4 oclock on January 5 next year.
