PORT-AU-PRINCE: Police in Haiti yesterday hunted down suspects in the assassination of President Jovenel Moise, with one American among those arrested and growing questions over the role his security detail played as the country lurched into political chaos.
“I’m also aware that a larger group of possible perpetrators have taken refuge in two buildings in the city and they are now surrounded by the police,” La Lime told journalists in New York via video conference. “Jovenel Moise was not terribly popular, but he was the president. He cannot be killed as if he were just an ordinary citizen,” said a 55-year-old man in Port-au-Prince, who gave his name only as Paul.
“If you are responsible for the security of the president, where were you? What did you do to avoid this fate for the president?” Claude said. Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph has declared a national “state of siege” and said he was now in charge. Joseph on Wednesday said the president was “assassinated at his home by foreigners who spoke English and Spanish”.As well as presidential, legislative and local elections, Haiti was due to hold a constitutional referendum in September this year after it was twice postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
