(NBC News) The wife of slain Haitian President Jovenel Moïse said the men who murdered her husband also believed they’d killed her in an assassination rocked that has rocked the Caribbean nation’s already shaky democracy
In an interview with The New York Times that was posted on the newspaper’s website on Friday, widow Martine Moïse recounted the terrifying moments on July 7 when gunmen burst into their home, shot her and then killed the president before rifling through her husband’s files looking for something.
“The only thing that I saw before they killed him were their boots,” Martine Moïse said, describing the moment President Moïse was gunned down next to her. “Then I closed my eyes, and I didn’t see anything else.”
