Do not comment on this case yet without knowing the facts Tiba. I thought that you were slightly smarter than Martelly but it is not the case.
Dimwitted Martelly just commented on the case and equated it as an accident.How does he know it is an accident?

As the president of Haiti he should not make any comment on an ongoing criminal investigation.

It's a death that should have NOT happened.

It doesn't really need a crime expert from the US, France, or Canada to go down to Haiti in that intense hellish sun heat to investigate the killing of Dional.

It could have been avoided, prevented if his body guarde was a professional.

Regardless, that sounds pretty uncanny.and suspicious.

Irrespective he was a INITE thug/thief, my condolences to his family, especially his
