A sensational incident has come to light from the Caribbean country Haiti. Here 16 people of a family were found dead under suspicious circumstances. The matter is of Seguin city in southern Haiti. Which is 48 kilometers away from the capital Port-au-Prince. At present, the cause of death has not been known yet. But according to Reuters, neighbors have expressed fear of the family’s death due to poison.
According to Jude Pierre Michel Lafontant, the top official of Haiti’s Southeast Department, the bodies of the deceased have been sent for post-mortem. According to the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, there are many criminal groups active in this area, who kidnap people for money and sometimes even kill them. This case is also being investigated whether some gang might have killed 16 members of the family for the sake of money. Because Haiti is a poor country.
Haiti’s population is around 5 million, but it is difficult for people to eat even two meals a day. Diseases like cholera have become common. Criminal gangs keep committing crimes like murder for money. However, in the case of death of 16 people, the police has not found any such evidence to suggest that any gang had murdered them. Still, the police is investigating the case from every angle. The house has been sealed. The forensic team is also doing its work.
According to a United Nations report, the situation in Haiti is not good. Last year, about 5,000 people lost their lives in the violence in Haiti. At that time, the armed police of the Caribbean nation also had to work hard to stop the violence.
Why did such situations arise in Haiti?
The situation in Haiti began to deteriorate in 2021, when President Jovenel Moise was assassinated in a barricade in his home. Because of this there was turmoil in the country. The assassination of the President was a shock to the people. But gangs saw this as an opportunity and started controlling the country. Because of this, members of different gangs keep creating terror in different parts of the country every day. There are about 150 gangs in the country, which are fighting each other for control of the capital Port-au-Prince. Bloodshed on the streets has become a common thing.
