Port-au-Prince, Haiti.- Haitian police have arrested Bénicé Célestin, 52, in connection with the murder of two American missionaries and a Haitian citizen at an orphanage in Port-au-Prince last May. The Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ) announced the arrest and will release a full report on the case in the coming days.
The victims, Natalie and Davy Lloyd, daughter and son-in-law of Missouri legislator Ben Baker, were serving as missionaries in Haiti when they were attacked by an armed gang. A Haitian citizen working at the orphanage also lost their life in the incident. The orphanage, located in the Lizon area of Plaine, north of Port-au-Prince, is in a region heavily influenced by gang activity.
The National Police’s Press and Public Relations Service will provide further details on the case through their audiovisual platform “Allô la Police.”
