Santo Domingo.- Dominican Foreign Relations Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso has expressed his regret in reaction to the attack on Haitian Minister Daniel Supplice and his family last Thursday night as they were driving on the Duarte Highway.

Morales said that since the incident occurred he has been in constant communication with the National Police Chief, Major General José Armando Polanco Gómez, who will conduct an in-depth investigation until those responsible for the regrettable incident have been found.

The Minister assured that Supplice, who is the Minister for Haitian Overseas Affairs, is a friend of the Dominican Republic, so he doubly regretted the criminal act.

“I have no doubt that we will find those responsible for the robbery, I truly regret what has happened to Supplice, who is a personal friend of President Fernández, and of mine, and of the Dominican Republic”, declared Morales Troncoso.

Yesterday the media reported that three men, including one serving police private and a former member of the police had been detained in connection with the crime.
