Popcaan’s Protege Quada Arrested And Charged With Murder And Arson

Up-and-coming dancehall entertainer Quada was arrested and charged on Wednesday (January 15) for murder and arson in connection with the mob killing of 30-year-old man, Miguel Williams of Sterling Castle Heights St.Andrew, last year.

The artiste born Shaquelle Clarke had surrendered himself for questioning sometime yesterday.   He was accompanied by his lawyer.

A statement issued today by the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) says the singer was charged following a question and answer session with detectives.

Williams, who is said to be mentally unstable was beaten, slain then set ablaze.

Residents of the community had accused Williams of being responsible for the death of eight-year-old Shantae Skyers, which he allegedly raped. Her decomposing body was found in nearby bushes days after she went missing.

Quada is the second individual charged with the murder of Williams.  Last year, December, 30 year-old Andrew Breakcliffe was arrested and charged with the same crime, according to the JCF.

Quada has had several hit songs since he joined Popcaan’s Unruly Entertainment Label a few years ago. Last year his track Celebration featuring Jah Vinci snagged over 6.5 million views on YouTube. His single Hail had similar trending effects, accumulating over 6.8 million views.   The young artiste’s other singles include More Money More Life and New Gyal Alert.

Unruly boss Popcaan took to Instagram yesterday evening (January 14th) and shared a vague message about how he felt about the situation. He said: “wul them enuh wild crocs GOD over every demon and devils yo bless fam just know that”.

Quada’s last Instagram post, which was about a day ago, is captioned: “Tek it to god in prayer when dem fight me ”. He also delivers a sample of some music he’s working on. That post has over 49 000 views.

Investigations are ongoing and a court date has not yet been fixed.
