A savage mob in Haiti have hacked to two men after they were found buying weapons to allegedly sell to .
police have revealed how the men were taken from after they were found with $20,000 (£16,000) and the equivalent of $43,000 in local currency in their vehicle. Two pistols and ammunition were also lifted by law enforcement. Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince has been ravaged by violence in recent years following the outbreak of widespread gang activity. After the men were arrested, however, locals grew suspicious. A large crowd took the men and marched them to Mirebalais, to the northeast of the capital. Cops tried to break up the activity, firing warning shots in the crowd, but it was seemingly no use, with the crowd hacking into the men, by this point on the floor. Members of the public have reportedly grown frustrated with the ongoing chaos being created by gangs running amok around the country. This, in turn, has led to Haitians banding together in vigilante groups in an attempt to resist the influence of the gangs in their areas. Of the two men killed, one was a former police officer and the other a former guard, The Express reports. Previously, vigilantes have set a gang leader on
fire along with two other men. Once burnt, the trio of bodies were then dragged through the affluent Port-au-Prince neighbourhood of Petion-Ville, presumably as a warning. The most well-known gang leader Jimmy ' ' Cherizier has laid out what he wants for peace. He said: “If the international community comes with a detailed plan where we can sit together and talk, but they do not impose on us what we should decide, I think that the weapons could be lowered. "We don't believe in killing people and massacring people, we believe in dialogue, we have weapons in our hand and it's with the weapons that we must liberate this country. "The divide between rich and poor is too vast, in the whole world there is a divide between rich and poor, but the way it's done in Haiti is indecent. "We are ready for all solutions as long as Haitians are at the table, we are ready to sit and talk with everyone because we are not proud of what is happening in this country."
