World IN BRIEF : HAITI : 2nd Suspect Arrested in Lawyer’s Slaying
A right-wing businessman was arrested in the March 28 killing of far-right opposition leader Mireille Durocher, U.N. spokesman Eric Falt said. Gerald Benius, 31, the second suspect arrested in the slaying, was being interrogated by police and FBI agents, Falt said. Members of the U.N. force in Haiti helped Haitian police arrest Benius, he said. Durocher, 35, was a lawyer and top aide to coup leaders who overthrew President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1991. She was one of Aristide’s most vehement opponents, criticizing him and the U.S. intervention that returned him to power in October.
