Haitian mob hunts down and murders religious Sisters

Two religious Sisters were among those brutally killed when an armed gang ran riot near Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.

Sisters Evanette Onezaire and Jeanne Voltaire sought refuge in a house as the gang attacked the prison and other public buildings in Mirebalais, 30 miles north-east of Port-au-Prince.

Gang members found the Sisters’ hiding place and shot them dead. A young girl sheltering with them received gun wounds to her chest.

Archbishop Max Leroy Mésidor of Port-au-Prince told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN): “Several murders took place during this attack, including two Sisters from the local congregation of the Little Sisters of Saint Thérèse.
