Seventeen suspects have been detained so far in connection with the assassination of Haiti’s President. Authorities say two are believed to hold dual US-Haitian citizenship and Colombia’s government says at least six are former members of its army.
Léon Charles, chief of Haiti’s National Police, said on Thursday night that 15 of the detainees were from Colombia.
The police chief said eight more suspects were being sought and three others had been killed by police. Charles had earlier said seven were killed.
“We are going to bring them to justice,” the police chief said. President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated at his home on Wednesday. AP
