Jamaica reggae artiste, Jah Cure’s first public hearing for attempted murder and aggravated assault in The Netherlands is set for next Wednesday, January 12, at 11:45 am.
The Jamaica Observer has reported that Cure is being held at an undisclosed detention centre outside of Amsterdam since October 2021.
According to the Observer, Cure could be held for an additional 90 days.
The 43-year-old singer was detained for allegedly stabbing a concert promoter, Nicardo Blake, in The Netherlands on October 2.
He has been charged with attempted murder, attempted manslaughter, aggravated assault or attempted aggravated assault.
Blake, whose Roots Vibes company stages reggae shows in The Netherlands, allegedly sustained injuries to the abdomen and was reportedly hospitalised.
Jah Cure’s arrest came during his European tour.
The singer, whose real name is Siccature Alcock, has had several brushes with the law, including, most notably, an eight-year prison sentence for rape in Jamaica.
