They tried to escape from prison but were killed. This is the fate of 10 confined prisoners in the Croix-des-Bouquets facility, just outside the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.

According to police spokesman Gary Desrosiers, the prisoners were armed and died during a firefight with special police reinforcements. An officer was among the victims, while three other colleagues were seriously injured.

The attempted escape was completed last Friday but the authorities have only now released the details.
