A representative of former Colombian soldiers jailed in the assassination of Haiti’s president says the group wants Haitian authorities to preserve the bodies of three former soldiers killed shortly after the slaying of Jovenel Moïse.
According to a Haitian police investigative report obtained by the Miami Herald, Colombians Duberney Capador Giraldo, Miguel Guillermo Garzon and Mauricio Javier Romero Medina were killed shortly after the July 7 assassination, and their corpses were examined by a Haitian judge.
Now, after nine months, Haitian authorities want to cremate the bodies, Jose Espinosa told the Miami Herald. Espinosa belongs to a Colombian military nonprofit association that has been advocating for the families and the soldiers after their arrest in Haiti. He said despite a request from the advocacy group, Haitian authorities seem determined to move ahead with the cremation.
