The injured widow of Haiti’s president has described the moment assassins “riddled” her husband with bullets after bursting into their home in the middle of the night.
Martine Moïse said the attack happened so quickly, her husband Jovenel was unable to “say a single word”.
President Moïse was killed on July 7, allegedly by 28 foreign mercenaries.
Mrs Moïse was also injured in the attack, and was flown to Miami for treatment.
On Saturday, she posted a voice message to her Twitter page vowing to continue his work. A number of people have confirmed it is the president’s wife.
She suggested her husband was targeted because for political reasons – in particular, mentioning a referendum on changes to the constitution which could have given the president more power.
The unnamed people, she said, “want to assassinate the president’s dream”.
