A judicial clerk working on the murder investigation of President Jovenel Moïse was found dead Thursday inside a room at the State University Hospital in Port-au-Prince. In the days prior, Ernst Lafortune was preparing to leave the job, his colleagues said.

Lafortune was assigned to the office of lead prosecutor Judge Mathieu Chanlatte, freshly appointed to investigate the assassination of Moise. Lafortune had told Chanlatte he planned to quit and had begun an inventory of the cases he was handling in preparation for that departure, according to Martin Ainé, president of the ANAGH.

“Lafortune told me he would quit his position because he had a dispute with the prosecutor [over] the processing of the file of the assassination of President Moise,” Ainé told The Haitian Times Thursday.
