2 NEW VICTIMS INCLUDING ONE CHILD KIDNAPPING
(Haiti Libre) -
Yesterday afternoon, in the Varreux area, Ms. Marie Collin, Human Resources Manager of the Brasserie La Couronne was murdered. She received 3 bullets, while she was driving her car to return to her home. The motives of this crime are not known.
Also yesterday, a girl of only 4 years of age, Darolina Bien-Aimé was kidnapped after the intrusion of gunmen into the residence of her parents at Laboule 15. The parents have been threatened with the death of their daughter by these individuals before leaving with the girl. Witnesses said that a shooting had also taken place. At present we do not know if there was a ransom demand. Police launched a search operation. The police currently are working on four other cases, including that of the child.
Yesterday, Michel-Ange Gédéon, Head of the Departmental Direction of the West (DDO), indicated that the number of kidnappings was decreasing "...for the month of May we had 12 cases of kidnapping, and five in June; so you see a reduction of over 50%, for the month of July we had four cases and in August we have had four cases... so it's to tell you that contrary to the trend of those who would like to make believe that there is a rebound of acts of banditry in the capital, the figures that we have available at the DDO translate clearly the contrary..."
