Two weeks after the massacre that devastated Kenscoff, Eliana Thélémaque, one of the survivors, succumbed to the invisible wounds left by this tragedy. Found wandering in distress in Delmas 103, she passed away on February 14, 2025, just hours after being taken to the Pétion-Ville police station.
According to the online media Vant Bèf Info, her lifeless body was handed over to a funeral home on the orders of Judge Eno René.
The assailants who spread terror in Kenscoff between January 27 and 30 committed the unthinkable. Eliana Thélémaque, a young mother, was forced to witness the gruesome murder of her infant.
Her two-month-old baby was violently snatched from her arms and thrown alive into the flames by merciless criminals. This unspeakable act left her shattered, roaming aimlessly, haunted by the last cries of her son.
When she was found, she was in a state of extreme distress, repeatedly murmuring words of anguish. Deprived of the psychological and medical support she so desperately needed, she ultimately succumbed to her grief, CTN has learned.
This tragedy must not become just another statistic in a country ravaged by insecurity. It symbolizes a nation on the brink, crushed under the weight of impunity and chaos.
Hundreds of families, driven from their homes by gangs, now live in inhumane conditions, abandoned by the authorities.
Women, children, and the elderly— all are forced to survive in a state of neglect, without protection or hope.
Humanitarian efforts, limited to sporadic food and hygiene kit distributions, remain woefully inadequate in the face of the crisis. Haiti urgently needs a decisive and immediate response to end the violence that claims innocent lives every day.
In the wake of this atrocity, an increasing number of citizens are expressing their outrage and anxiety over the country’s future.
The surge in violence and the authorities’ failure to act have fueled widespread frustration and anger. Many fear that similar tragedies will continue to unfold if urgent measures are not taken to restore security and ensure justice for the victims.
