Popular Jamaican dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel will have to wait a little longer to be sentenced after being convicted of murder.

Home Circuit court Judge Justice Lennox Campbell yesterday announced a postponement of Vybz Kartel’s highly anticipated sentencing.

The judge set the popular Jamaican artiste’s new sentencing hearing for next week Thursday, April 3, 2014.

The postponement came after the judge and lawyers representing the defense and the prosecution came to an agreement that several guidelines were not met.

Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, along with four men was convicted of the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.

Williams was allegedly beaten to death at Kartel’s Havendale home in St Andrew in August 2011, over missing guns.

The four men are facing a life sentence.
