Police arrest "presumed assassins" of Haitian president
08 July 2021
Haiti's Communications Secretary Frantz Exantus announced Wednesday that local police arrested the "presumed assassins" of President Jovenel Moïse.
State of play: Exantus did not give any additional details. He said more information would be provided on the country's state television broadcaster.
The big picture: "The killing is sure to bring more chaos to the unstable Caribbean country already beset by gang violence, soaring inflation and protests by opposition supporters who accused Moïse of increasing authoritarianism," AP writes.
