THREE police officers were killed in an ambush near Haiti’s capital on Sunday in the latest attack by gangs on the island.

The latest killings follow reports by authorities of nearly two dozen officers slain so far this year.

The shootings occurred in Thomassin, a largely upper-class neighbourhood just south of the capital of Port-au-Prince that is controlled by a gang called Ti Makak, which translates to “Little Macaques.”
