Dominican authorities handed over on Monday the alleged leader of one of the most dangerous gangs in Haiti, Faro Markenson, known as "Commander Tirad", at the border crossing between Juana Méndez and Dajabón. Minutes after being received by the Haitian police, an angry crowd lynched him and burned his body.
Markenson, who is accused of being the leader of a group dedicated to murder in Haiti, was captured in Santiago by members of the General Directorate of Migration and the J2. He was subsequently taken under escort to the border crossing in Dajabón, where he was handed over to the Haitian authorities, represented by a commissioner of the Haitian National Police.
However, just a few minutes after the handover, an angry mob in the town of Juana Méndez intercepted the officers guarding him. In an act of self-imposed justice, they beat him to death and proceeded to set his body on fire in front of numerous witnesses.
The incident has sparked alarm and debate about tensions at the border, as well as the ability of Haitian authorities to ensure due process and security in high-profile cases like this one.
