MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The son of assassinated Haitian President Jovenel Moise, Joverlein Moise, said that he suffered an armed assault on the day his father was shot dead.
The Haitian leader was deadly wounded during an attack on his residence in the early hours of July 7. His spouse was also injured and subsequently hospitalized in Miami, the United States. Joverlein Moise left Haiti on the day his father was killed and is currently in Quebec.
Joverlein Moise told the Haitian Metropole radio station that he, his wife and daughter were in a car when unidentified gunmen opened fire on the vehicle. He called it the "ambush," adding that he had additional information about what happened the night his father was killed.
