More than 150 people were killed in the capital Port-au-Prince last week as violence continued to ravage the country.

The roads are said to be littered with charred corpses after the vigilantes turned on Barbecue’s men and sliced ​​them up before throwing their bodies into bonfires.

Vengeful residents and police officers from the suburbs of Pétion-Ville are said to have stormed the streets to hunt down members of the tyrant’s gang.
