iciHaiti - FLASH : The candidate for mayor of Marigot shot dead
23/07/2015 09:36:33

Wednesday morning, Pierre Lafond, the candidate for Mayor of Marigot under the banner of the FUSION party died at the Saint-Michel in Jacmel hospital, after being fatally shot by a certain Bissainthe, security officer of Déus Deronette, parliamentary candidate under the banner of PONT party.

According Prophène Michel, member of the cartel Fusion "Pierre Lafond who was returning from a political meeting in Pérédo, near Marigot, was fatally injured when an dispute broke out between Bissainthe and his wife. Events then degenerated into shooting that almost cause other victims."

Supplice Beauzile Edmonde, presidential candidate of the Fusion Party deplores the murder of Pierre Lafond, that she assimilates to a plot to destabilize the electorate and Fusion as the elections approach.

Furthermore it is reported to us that a supporter of the Fusion was lynched with machetes in Anse-à-Pitres (Southeast) for yet unspecified reasons.
