Shortly after Roach’s murder, detectives conducted a thorough search of Vybz Kartel jail cell as part of their investigation where they found three flash drives and two cell phones.

Detectives also revealed that they went back to the remand center on Monday to conduct another search and found a iPod and a DVD player in Vybz Kartel’s jail cell. They also found another DVD player in Shawn “Storm” Campbell’s jail cell.

Investigators are now analyzing the items for any evidence linking Vybz Kartel or the other men to Patrick Roach’s murder.

Vybz Kartel, born Adidja Palmer, has been behind bars since September of 2011 on two murder charges. He was acquitted of one murder charge in June, 2013 and will be going on trial for the second charge in November.

Patrick “Roach” Samuels is a famed producer who has worked with dancehall acts including Vybz Kartel, Sean Paul, Mavado, and Beenie Man.

Roach was also Vybz Kartel’s road manager in the early part of his career.

During a 2011 interview, Patrick Roach opened up about his relationship with Vybz Kartel after the two severed ties a few years earlier.

The nature of their split is still unknown, but sources told Urban Islandz that both Vybz Kartel and Patrick Roach have not been on speaking terms since their fallout.

  14. the question remains whether somebody from behind bars could be involved in roach’s murder, but to me ,kartel has nothing to do with his former manager’s death coz why wuld he want to do so when he’s busy trying to get himself out of the so called murder charges?the system should be fair in conducting investigations on patrick’s murder but also its too early to link vybez kartel with patricks murder.free whorl booos mi seh.and R.I.P PATRICK SAMUEL.
