VYBZ KARTEL SENTENCING WILL RESULT IN ROAD CLOSURE FOR THE DOWNTOWN KINGSTON AREA

Local source have reported that the police will close off several roadways in the downtown Kingston area surrounding the Supreme Court building where convicted murderer Vybz Kartel is expected to be sentenced tomorrow (Thurs Mar 27). 
In a media statement this morning, the police said the roads will be closed between 9a.m. and 5p.m. tomorrow. King Street, on which the Supreme Court building is located, will be closed to vehicular traffic between Harbour Street and South Parade. 
This means that motorists travelling from South Parade, Tower Street, Harbour Street and Barry Street will not be able to turn onto King Street and merchants and business operators will be allowed limited access to this area. 
Church Street will also be closed to vehicular traffic between South Parade and Tower Street. The police say only court officials and police vehicles will be able to access Church Street from the direction of South Parade or Tower Street. Motorists travelling from west of the island intending to use King Street to access Parade will instead use Orange Street and motorists travelling from the east of the island intending to access Parade will do so via East Queen Street. 
Reports are that police personnel will monitor all points of closure, and members of the public are asked to obey all instructions given by them.
