Civilians in Haiti reportedly killed five more alleged gangsters and burned their bodies in Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, part of a growing trend of frustrated citizens taking the law into their own hands as criminals run rampant across the country.
One of the incinerated gangsters was dropped off at a nearby police station, whose officials refused to comment on the killings.
“The male victims were apparently brought out alive from the slum of Jalousie outside Port-au-Prince and then killed, according to people in the crowd. Most of the bodies were left strewn along the road that leads to the home of former President Jovenel Moise, who was killed in July 2021,” the Associated Press (AP) reported on Tuesday.
