Vybz Kartel was denied bail.

The dancehall deejay was seeking bail relating to the murder of Barrington 'Bossie' Burton for which he is charged. Vybz Kartel’s lawyer Christian Tavares-Finson says Resident Magistrate Opal Smith did not immediately give her reason for refusing bail but said she would do so in 24 hours.

Kartel and his fashion designer Calvin Moonie Haye are also charged with the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams, who police say was stabbed and shot to death over a missing illegal firearm.

The deejay is expected to face the court tomorrow in that matter.
