"Another journalist was murdered within 48 hours in Haiti, the most dangerous country in which to practice journalism, according to a preliminary report by the Inter American Press Association (IAPA) released Tuesday [April 25].

The body of Ricot Jean, a journalist with Radio-Télé Évolution Inter in Saint-Marc, a town 73 km [45 miles] north of Port-au-Prince, was found in an open field on Tuesday morning [April 25], according to Alcide Volcy, the station's information director, quoted by the newspaper Le Nouvelliste.

The newspaper said that Jean was abducted, along with an associate, the night before by four armed men dressed in uniforms of the Departmental Unit for the Maintenance of Order (UDMO), a specialized body of the Haitian police, under the pretext of being arrested."
