Shocking news.
Terrible news. I don't want to say what someone said on Twitter....ok, I'll say it. Someone said "I hope he's ok"....totally beggars belief with some people
Apparently he received twelve gunshot wounds to the head and body, so whoever it was, made sure they did the job.
The murderers were also heard speaking Spanish and English, not forgetting that Haiti shares the island border with The Dominican Republic.
From BBC News:
QuoteThe suggestion from many official quarters has been that the assassination involved at least some "foreign mercenaries". Early reports said the attackers spoke English and Spanish - the Haitian official languages are French and Creole.
