Jam Master Jay's murder solved: Godson and friend of the rap superstar have to go to prison for 20 years. The two men, aged 40 and 59, are accused of shooting the musician in a music studio in the New York borough of Queens in October 2002.

The background to the crime was apparently a dispute in the cocaine business. A third man is accused of being involved in the murder. His trial is not scheduled to take place until 2026. Jam Master Jay became world famous in the 80s as the DJ for the legendary rap band Run-DMC.
