The Privy Council made a significant ruling in favor of incarcerated dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel and his three co-accused. The council ordered the quashing of their convictions for the murder of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams, a pivotal development in the ongoing legal saga.

As the legal proceedings continue to unfold, the attention remains focused on the next steps in this complex legal battle and the potential implications for the future of Vybz Kartel and his co-accused.
