Haiti's interim prime minister says president was tortured before being killed
Claude Joseph, the interim prime minister of Haiti, said in an interview with ABC News that former President Jovenel Moise was tortured before he was killed and vowed to bring the perpetrators of the assassination to justice.
"Mercenaries came to the president's house, they tortured him and they killed him," Joseph said. "We captured about 20 of them. They are currently in custody. And we believe, we staunchly believe, that justice will be provided to the President Jovenel Moise
We do have the right people [in custody].
At around 1 a.m. local time on Wednesday, an armed group stormed Moises residence and shot and killed the head of state. The group claimed to be U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents during the raid, according to Haitian Ambassador to the U.S. Bocchit Edmond, which both the Haitian and U.S. governments have denied.
In the interview on Friday, Joseph said his main focus was to bring justice to Moises family as the leadership crisis threatens to bring more hardship and chaos to one of the poorest countries in the world.
