HAITI’S First Lady Martine Moise has called for the mastermind of her husband’s assassination to be found amid claims that his alleged Colombian killers were trained by US forces.

Ms Moise said on Saturday that her husband was targeted for his development plans, which she said had been opposed by elements of the Haitian bourgeoisie.

“They had him killed because of his projects for roads, water, electricity, referendum, and to avoid any kind of transition in the country,” she said in her first public statement since the shooting on July 7, which also left her hospitalised.
