Voice of America
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - A justice official told The Associated Press on Monday that he has selected a judge to oversee the case of the slaying of President Jovenel Moïse amid concerns over death threats and demands for additional security.
Mathieu Chanlatte will be in charge of proceedings involving the July 7 attack at Moïse's private home, said Magistrate Bernard Saint-Vil, who is dean of the Court of First Instance in Port-au-Prince. "The judge is very competent," Saint-Vil said. Chanlatte could not be immediately reached for comment.More Related News
