Haitian Judge Overseeing Mose Slaying Case Withdraws

Port-Au-Prince (AP) The Haitian judge assigned to oversee the investigation into the assassination of President Jovenel Mose has withdrawn from the case citing personal reasons, a decision that might delay the much-anticipated probe. Judge Mathieu Chanlatte, who was named to oversee the case less than a week ago, announced his decision in a letter, the dean of the Court of First Instance in Port-au-Prince, Magistrate Bernard Saint-Vil, said on Friday. Saint-Vil told The Associated Press he will choose a judge to replace Chanlatte in the coming days, likely early next week..
