According to the Deputy Limbe Frandy Louis (VERITE), these are the same individuals who had already sown death in the town on Christmas Eve 2018 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26481-haiti-flash-violent-clashes-in-limbe-several-dead-and-houses-burned.html that still sow terror today in the population.
