Two witnesses were called this afternoon as the murder trial of dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel began in the Home Circuit Court.
A sister of the deceased broke down in tears as she recounted an event on August 14, 2011 when she said she saw her brother Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams and a man called Lamar Chow in her living room.
The woman said she was in her bathroom when she heard a loud commotion and when she went to investigate she saw the men in a state of fright.
She said she observed them talking on the phone and pacing back and forth.
She added that that they looked white as though they had seen a ghost.
The witness said she later drove the men to the Portmore Mall and left them there.
She said she last spoke to her brother on the morning of August 16 and she said repeated calls to his cell phone went to voicemail.
She said the next day she went to report her brother missing.
The witness said she knew that her brother and Kartel and some of the accused were friends. The prosecution’s first witness has started giving evidence in the Vybz Kartel murder trial.
Another witness is the former girlfriend of the Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams who it is believed was murdered by Kartel and four other accused in Havendale, St Andrew, on August 16, 2011.
She as testified so far that on the day in question she left Williams at home in Waterford St Catherine and that they texted each other throughout the day.
She said she received her last text from Williams’ number around 7:26 pm and that she tried calling him about 8:00 pm when she finished work but the call went to voicemail.
