The late Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse

Four people suspected of assassinating Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse have been killed in a shootout with the security forces, police say.

Two others have been detained, while some remaining suspects are thought to be still at large in the nation’s capital Port-au-Prince.

“They will be killed or captured,” police chief Leon Charles said.

Mr Moïse, 53, was fatally shot and his wife was injured when attackers stormed their home early on Wednesday.

The president was reportedly hit by multiple bullets and his office and bedroom were ransacked.

First Lady Martine Moïse has been flown to Florida where she is said to be in a critical but stable condition and is receiving treatment.
