Haitian officials investigating the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse arrested the palace security chief on Thursday, the first step in the investigation to turn in on oneself. Dimitri Hérard, the palace’s security chief, was arrested after he and three other Haitian security officials spoke with investigators on Wednesday, The New York Times reports. According to Time, Hérard had made several stops in Colombia in recent months, home to more than 20 people suspected of being involved in the death of Moses. None of Herard’s security officials fired their guns when around 25 individuals broke into the presidential palace and murdered Moses.
