Vybz Kartel's assets not seized, says police

CONTRARY to media reports, the assets of embattled deejay Vybz Kartel have not been seized.

According to Assistant Commissioner of Police Elan Powell, head of Criminal Investigation Bureau, he was unaware of this.

"I don't know anything about that and if that was the case, I would know," he told the Observer.

According to reports, Kartel — whose real name is Adidja Palmer -- had his highly prized valuables seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act. The reports also claim that the deejay's 2010 Mercedes Benz S-Class, a laptop and documentation regarding properties he owns were seized and are being stored at the Police Commissioner's Office in St Andrew.

Vybz Kartel was arrested in October and later slapped with two separate charges of murder. The entertainer, along with two other men -- Nigel Thompson and Lenburgh McDonald -- have been charged with the July murder of 27-year-old Barrington 'Bossie' Bryan, a promoter of a Gregory Park address in St Catherine.

In relation to that incident, the men were also charged with illegal possession of firearm and are to return to the Gun Court Division of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on February 3.

Additionally, the entertainer and five others -- Andre St John, Kahira Jones, Portmore Empire artiste Shawn 'Shawn Storm' Campbell, designer Calvin Hay, and Shane Williams -- have also been charged with the August 16 murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams, who was killed over the disappearance of two illegal guns.

Buzz around Beyonce as fly named in diva's honour

AFP - IT might not be the most flattering accolade for the "bootylicious" American pop star, but new mother Beyonce now has a fly named after her.

Just days after the singer and actress gave birth to a baby girl, Australian scientists said Friday they had named a rare horse fly from far northern Queensland in her honour because of its impressive golden lower abdomen.

Researcher Bryan Lessard from CSIRO, the government's top scientific research institute, paid tribute to Beyonce's bottom in saying the spectacular colour of the insect's derriere made it the "all-time diva of flies".

"It was the unique dense golden hairs on the fly's abdomen that led me to name this fly in honour of the performer Beyonce as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate the fun side of taxonomy -- the naming of species," he said.

The Scaptia (Plinthina) beyonceae species was collected in 1981 in Queensland state, the same year the former Destiny's Child singer was born, but had never been named.

Although often considered a pest, many species of horse fly are important pollinators of plants, said Lessard.

Beyonce, 30, and her rapper partner Jay-Z celebrated the birth of their baby Blue Ivy on Saturday night in New York.

Restoration For Gong's Land Rover

The image of Bob Marley at the entrance to 56 Hope Road, St Andrew, seems to be watching his favourite vehicle, a 1976 Land Rover, leave for the first time in 25 years.

1 2 >

Two days ago, a 1976 Land Rover that was reputedly the late Bob Marley's favourite vehicle moved from the place it had been for a quarter century. It took one of the 'country runs' which Marley used to make, but not with anyone in the driver's seat.

The vehicle was moved to Montego Bay, St James, to local Land Rover dealer ATL's Montego Bay offices, to be assessed ahead of restoration. When it was finished, the Bob Marley Museum and Jacqueline Lynch-Stewart, Bob Marley Foundation's general manager, said, the 1976 Land Rover will be put back on display at 56 Hope Road.

"It has been at the museum since it opened," Lynch-Stewart said. "It is always at the front." After having been exhibited in the open air under a covering but no sides for a quarter century, "over the years, it has naturally deteriorated".

"We made contact with them (ATL) to see if it could be restored. They then contacted the headquarters in London, so this discussion has been going on for some time," Lynch-Stewart said. Next for the Land Rover, she said, is "to pull it down, assess what is required and take it from there. They don't know what they will find".

She noted that even if something on the Land Rover is replaced, the original part will be returned to the museum for display.

Lynch-Stewart said that the Land Rover has been "very popular" with visitors. "I know they are going to miss it. What we will have to do is take a photograph and show people that it has been sent to be refurbished," she said.

Another Marley vehicle, a Volkswagen bus, is at Culture Yard in Trench Town, St Andrew.

A robot would be better in the White House than Obama, GOP candidates — Fidel Castro

HAVANA, Cuba (AFP) — Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro said yesterday that a "robot" would be better in the White House than President Barack Obama — or any of the Republican candidates in the 2012 election race.

"Is it not obvious that the worst of all is the absence in the White House of a robot capable of governing the United States and preventing a war that would end the life of our species?" Castro, 85, wrote in one of the "reflections" he often publishes in Cuba's state-controlled media.

CASTRO... worse still, any of the Republican candidates for the presidency... carry with them more nuclear weapons than ideas for peace  1/1

Under the title The Best President for the United States, Cuba's ex-president said that if faced with a choice between Obama, a Republican rival or a robot, "90 per cent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot."

Obama, Castro said, is "hopelessly immersed in seeking re-election," and "the dreams of (civil rights icon) Martin Luther King are thousands of light years further away than the nearest inhabitable planet."

"Worse still, any of the Republican candidates for the presidency... carry with them more nuclear weapons than ideas for peace," said Castro, alluding to several of the would-be Obama challengers who have called, in particular, for a stronger position against Iran, which the West says is seeking to build an atomic bomb.

Fidel, who handed the reins of power to his younger brother Raul in 2006, has rarely held back in his disdain for Obama.

In September he slammed Obama's address to the UN General Assembly as "gibberish" and called the US and NATO intervention in Libya "monstrous crimes."

Vybz Kartel, Gaza Slim to face music

JAILED dancehall entertainers Vybz Kartel and Gaza Slim are scheduled to appear before the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today to answer to charges of conspiracy and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer and Gaza Slim, christened Vanessa Saddler, were remanded into custody when they appeared in court in December.

KARTEL... to appear in the Circuit court on january 13  1/1

The charges stem from allegations that text messages were sent from Vybz Kartel to Gaza Slim's cellphone instructing her to make a report to the Constant Spring police that she had been robbed by Clive 'Lizard' Williams. Williams, is the person whose murder Kartel and his associates — Andre St John, Shawn 'Shawn Storm' Campbell, Cairo Jones, Calvin Haye and Shane Williams — are charged for.

The prosecution is contending that the report was made in order to give the impression that Williams was not dead. But in making a failed bail application for Saddler last month, attorney Pierre Rogers said that the masked man who held up Saddler identified himself as Williams.

Williams is alleged to have been murdered on August 16 over the disappearance of an illegal firearm. His body is yet to be found. The prosecution, however, said they have video and other evidence to prove the murder.

The men are to be tried in the Home Circuit Court for the murder. Kartel, Jones, Campbell and Haye have already been transferred to the circuit court, where they will next appear on January 13.

Williams and St John are to appear in the magistrate's court on January 13 as part of the process to have them join the other accused men in the Home Circuit Court.

On a separate matter, Kartel is to return to the Resident Magistrate's Court on February 13 when he will be tried on a ganja possession charge.

Kartel and his associates are also facing murder and other charges in relation to the shooting death of Barrington 'Bossie' Bryan of Gregory Park, St Catherine in July. He was offered bail to the sum of $3 million in relation to this charge and will next appear in the RM court on today on that charge.
