Mourners have erupted in anger at the funeral of a Haitian student who was raped and killed in the Dominican Republic.
More than 200 people broke out in chants of “justice” at the service in the Haitian capital for 21-year-old Rooldine Lindor. The service Wednesday drew more than family and friends since the case has provoked outrage in Haiti.
Lindor was killed on July 12 at a construction site in the Dominican Republic. The assailants robbed her of nearly $500. Police have detained two men on suspicion of murder including a member of the Dominican air force.
An estimated 600,000 Haitians live in the Dominican Republic. Haitians face discrimination and abuse and accuse local authorities of doing little to protect them.
