Haitian authorities have however arrested a Florida-Based Doctor, Christian Emmanuel Sanon who is fingered as the prime suspect and the brains behind Moïse Murder.
According to the national police chief, Léon Charles believes the doctor, Sanon, was plotting to become president.
The Haiti National Police arrested him as part of their ongoing investigation into the leadership of the group of 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans suspected of carrying out the assassination – according to Miami Herald.
Sanon’s arrest makes him the third person of Haitian descent who has been arrested in the killing. James Solages, 35, and Joseph G. Vincent, 55, Haitian Americans from South Florida, are also in police custody after turning themselves in hours after the killing.
The two Haitian Americans, who are now among 21 suspects in police custody, told Haitian officials during questioning that their mission was not to kill the president but to serve a 2019 arrest warrant that had been issued by a judge and to take Moïse to the presidential palace. There, they would install Sanon, 63, as president, a source who spoke with the two men told the Herald.
