A Kenyan police officer deployed in Haiti as part of the international security force has been killed after an attack by suspected gang members, the country's transitional council says, after he was initially reported missing.
"This valiant policeman, committed to the side of the Haitian forces to fight against insecurity, has made the ultimate sacrifice for a better future," read a statement from Haiti's Presidential Transitional Council (CPT).
The officer was identified as Benedict Kabiru. His mother spoke to local media, saying she was overwhelmed with emotion.
"I am a single mother. He was my only hope," she said.
