Three of his four co-accused, Shawn “Storm” Campbell, André St John, and Kahira Jones were also convicted of the murder of their former associate who went missing on August 16, 2011.

Kartel fans protest 9

Officers say the road closures will be in place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. today.

Earlier this week, a former protege of the deejay told Urban Islandz that fans will be taking the streets today to protest what they called an unfair trial.

The accused men are facing life imprisonment.
