Port-au-Prince, Jul 7 (EFE).- Four suspected killers of President Jovenel Moise were fatally shot by police and two others were arrested Wednesday, according to Haiti’s police chief Léon Charles.
Three police officers who had been held hostage were also released, Charles said alongside Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph and other officials.
The suspects were intercepted by the police after intense gunfights in the Pelerin sector, where Moise’s residence is located, “shortly before 6 am this evening,” according to Secretary of State for Communication Frantz Exantus on Twitter.
