Vybz Kartel’s second murder trial has been adjourned on day three. The “Dancehall Hero” deejay and his co-accused went before the Home Circuit court today to continue their trial in the alleged murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.Two persons took the witness stand today, one of whom is a former girlfriend of the slain dancer and the other is his sister. Clive Williams sister broke down in tears while on the witness stand as she recounts what happened leading up to her brother’s disappearance. She told the court that on August 14, 2011 she was in her bathroom when she heard a loud commotion in her living room. She said when she went to investigate she saw her brother and another man name Lamar Chow in a state a fright. She also said they were talking on the phone with someone else. She said she later drove both men to a mall in Portmore and that was the last time she saw her brother. Williams girlfriend at the time also took the witness stand to recount the last time she saw him. She told the court that the last time she saw or spoke to him was on the morning of August 16, 2011 before she left for work. Both witnesses say they knew Clive Williams and the accuse men were friends. Williams’ sister say she went and filed a police report for a missing person on August 16, 2011 after repeated calls to his phone went unanswered.
