JAMAICAN authorities said its police have arrested a former Haitian senator, John Joel Joseph, who is a key suspect in the murder of Haitian President Jovenel Moise, in July, 2022.
Jamaica Constabulary Force spokesman Dennis Brooks, told newsmen on Sunday that Joseph, a well-known Haitian politician named by the authorities as a suspect in Moise’s killing, was arrested in a hideout on Friday.
Though Brooks did not comment on whether the arrest was following a request by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is also investigating the murder, but added that the Jamaican police authorities were trying to determine whether some other people were also arrested along with Joseph were family members or associates.
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Claude Joseph, who briefly served as interim Prime Minister following Moise’s killing, welcomed Joseph’s arrest, saying there was no hiding place for anyone connected with the assassination of Moise.
