Haiti police kill four after Jovenel Moise assassination

Police in Haiti announced late Wednesday that four "mercenaries" were killed in a gun battle that followed the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.

Three police officers were temporarily taken hostage in the battle that followed the death of the late president, police chief Leon Charles announced during a television broadcast.

He added that officers were still searching for further suspects.

"We are chasing them so that either in the exchange of fire they will be killed or we will apprehend them."

...

Local media reported Moise's killers were disguised as US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents, shouting "DEA operation" upon entry. AFP reported the assailants spoke English and Spanish.
