Haitian national police have arrested multiple men suspected of assassinating President Jovenel Moise and seriously injuring his wife, the government in Port-au-Prince has announced, without disclosing their identities.
The suspected assassins were arrested “shortly before 6pm” local time on Wednesday, Haiti’s minister of communication Frantz Exantus announced on Twitter, adding that the national television will have more details soon.

The assassins “spoke English and Spanish,” the government said, declaring a state of siege and launching a manhunt after the perpetrators.
