The president of Haiti, Jovenel Moise, has been assassinated in his home, the interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph, announced Wednesday.
The president’s residence also put out a statement on Wednesday, saying the attack occurred around 1 a.m. and that the First Lady was also wounded in the attack.
A reporter for Le Nouvelliste and presenter on Radio Magik 9 Robenson Geffrard said the assassination was carried out by a commando group with “foreign elements,” citing interim Prime Minister Joseph.
