Haiti gang leader beaten to death by irate mob after snatching him from the police

After Dominican police apprehended and turned over accused gang leader Faro Markenson, also known as “Commander Tirad,” to Haitian authorities, an enraged crowd killed him.

Faro Markenson, described by Dominican authorities as a “dangerous gang leader dedicated to murder,” was captured in Santiago.

Dominican officials seized the accused gang head of the Bwa Kale Gang and handed him over to Haitian police at the border in Dajabón.

However, “a few minutes later,” an irate crowd snatched Faro Markenson from police custody and beat him with sticks, according to the publication Diariolibre.

A horrible scenario transpired in front of several individuals, according to the Dominican Daily.

Well before public security forces took over the commune of Petite-Rivière-de-l’Artibonite on December 7, 2024, Mackenson Faro “Ti-Bab” was already plotting his escape to the neighboring land to avoid death.

After the final parts of the night’s evacuation were accomplished, “Ti-Bab” crossed the border into Dominican territory via unauthorized methods, according to officials.

The Haitian police authorities requested reciprocal aid from their Dominican counterparts, which expedited the search for Mackenson Faro.

In a final and desperate attempt to fool Dominican security officials, he changed his haircut.

He was promptly identified and handed over to Polifront authorities.

Despite the police’s mobilization, members of the public, obviously outraged by the bandits’ crimes and exactions, were able to lynch Mackenson Faro.

Kenyan police are in Haiti to assist in combating the criminal groups tormenting the population.

On December 26, at least three persons were killed in Haiti when armed men opened fire on journalists, police, and medical personnel during a press conference to announce the reopening of the country’s largest public hospital.

Kenya will send 600 additional police personnel to Haiti to support an international anti-gang campaign.

The plan has been hampered by the closure of the main airport due to gang warfare.

At least ten countries have pledged to send a total of approximately 2,900 troops to support Kenya’s Multinational Security Support (MSS).

However, just approximately 430 people have been deployed since the United Nations-authorized mission began in June, with over 400 of them coming from Kenya.
