Murdered Family's Dad Held in Haiti

Mesac Damas is a 'person of interest' in Fla. slayings of 6

Share

(Newser) – The Haitian National Police have apprehended a man believed to be the husband and father of the woman and five children found murdered Saturday in their Florida home, the Naples Daily News reports. Mesac Damas, who flew to Haiti Friday, is not officially a suspect in the case. He is apparently being held on a warrant issued after a January probation violation related to charges of suspicion of domestic violence against his wife, Guerline Damas, the oldest murder victim.

Not officially a suspect? He is a wife beater, his entire family is dead, and he took a flight to Haiti. Reply

I feel sick... poor babies didn't deserve to have their life taken away, and by their own father? A Father who is suppose to love them and guide them through life... How can anyone hurt an innocent child? Reply
