Haiti President, Jovenel Moise Assassinated By Mystery Gunmen

The President of Haiti has been assassinated by gunmen who stormed the private residence of the President in the capital of Port-au-Prince, and shot him dead at about 1am. The Prime Minister announced the sad news in a statement today.  The first lady, Martine Moïse, was hospitalised after she was reportedly injured in the attack.

The prime minister’s statement said: “A group of individuals who have not been identified, some of whom were speaking Spanish, attacked the private residence of the President of the Republic and fatally injured the Head of State.”

Mr Joseph condemned what he called a hateful, inhumane and barbaric act, adding that Haiti’s National Police had the situation under control.
