Four suspected assassins were shot dead while two others arrested, following the raid of the former Presidents home and his brutal assassination.
The announcement was made by Haiti’s national police stating that they were still engaged in a fierce gun battle that was expected to last through to early Thursday.
Police chief Leon Charles in a statement said “we will continue to hunt them down”.
The Haitian ambassador to Washington, Bocchit Edmond, described the killers as “professional mercenaries” disguised as US Drug Enforcement Administration agents who spoke both English and Spanish.
Siting a local judge, president Moise’s body was found riddled with a dozen bullets, from high caliber weapons that blew out on of his eyes.
According to Petion-ville deputy justice of the peace Carl Henry, “the presidents office and bedroom were ransacked. We found him lying on his back, blue trousers and a white shirt smeared with blood and his mouth open.”
