Meanwhile, Jah Cure, born Siccature Alcock, remains detained in the Netherlands for the alleged stabbing of promoter Nicardo “Papa” Blake which occurred in Dam Square in the city center of Amsterdam on October 1 last year.
The Longing For singer spent an additional 83 days in lock-up after The Council Chamber of the Amsterdam Court extended his pre-trial in January.
The singer is charged with attempted murder, attempted manslaughter, aggravated assault, or attempted aggravated assault.
After a two-hour hearing on January 12, it was ruled that the singer would be remanded until his trial on March 8. He is represented by Dutch attorney Jan Hein Kuijpers, who revealed that “for him [Jah Cure] it was a clear self-defense situation”.
Kuijpers also told the Jamaica Observer that “the prosecutor is only waiting for the results of the digital investigation into the suspect’s phone, as well as pertinent information regarding his previous legal encounters.”
The singer was released from prison in Jamaica in July 2007, after having served 8 years behind bars for rape.
