Haitian officers killed

Haiti’s National Police says it is investigating the recent slaying of three officers that it blames on gang members. The agency said a gang called “Ti Makak,” which means Little Macaques, killed the officers on Wednesday in Laboule, a largely gated community just south of Portau-Prince. It is also the site of recent turf wars between gangs that have led to other killings in the area. Two journalists were fatally shot and set on fire in January, and a former senator, who worked for the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour, and his nephew were killed in August the same way.
