The Haitian police outlined new charges against a former Supreme Court judge on Friday, saying she was connected to the assassination of President Jovenel Moise earlier this month, saying she met with some Colombian mercenaries accused of killing him.
Moise’s assassination plunged the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere into deeper chaos, and launched international hunts for mercenaries and murder masters across the Americas.
The Haitian police issued a warrant for the arrest of former Supreme Court Judge Wendell Coke-Silot earlier this week. He was dismissed along with two other judges in early February when Moise claimed to be planning a campaign against him. Coup.
Coq-Thelot’s whereabouts are unknown and she could not be reached for comment.
Marie Michelle Verrier, a spokesperson for the Haitian National Police and inspector general, said that Colombian mercenaries and Haitian Americans who were arrested after Mois’s murder said they had seen Coq-Thelot.
Villier told reporters:
Some of them stated that they had been to Mrs. Coq’s house twice. These individuals provided (the police) with details of the documents signed during the meeting in Mrs. Coq’s home.
Villier said the police raided the main residence of Coq-Thelot and other residences in the village. A wanted poster of Coq Wandelle was also released.
There are still many questions about who was behind the assassination this month and how the murderer entered the president’s home. Haitian officials accused a team of mainly Colombian mercenaries, three of whom were killed by police.
On Tuesday, a senior security official in Moise was arrested on suspicion of involvement. (nL1N2P32IV)
