Senator allegedly linked to assassination of Haitian president held in Jamaica

Jamaican police arrested a suspect Saturday for allegedly plotting to kill former Haitian President Jovenel Moise, who was assassinated in July in the Haitian capital.

Former Haitian opposition senator John Joel Joseph was found with three Haitian nationals in a rural Jamaica community, according to media reports.

Further details were not provided but a senior police official told The Gleaner newspaper that authorities are still conducting necessary verifications.

The National Police of Haiti in July issued wanted notices for three suspects for alleged crimes of "murder, attempted murder and armed robbery."
