Haiti searches for more suspects in Moise assassination probe

President’s killing a week ago has plunged Haiti into deeper political uncertainty as many questions remain unanswered.

Haitian authorities are searching for more suspects in last week’s killing of President Jovenel Moise, as the country grapples with mounting political uncertainty and many outstanding questions following the assassination. Police have issued warrants for five fugitives they say are believed to be “armed and dangerous”, including former Haitian senator John Joel Joseph, ex-government official Joseph Felix Badio and businessman Rodolphe Jaar. The authorities have arrested 18 Colombians and three Haitians, including two dual US-Haitian nationals, accused of forming a gang of mercenaries that opened fire on Moise and his wife, Martine Moise, at their home in Port-au-Prince in the early hours of July 7.
