PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Haiti on Wednesday held a state funeral for four policemen who authorities say were slain by ex-soldiers linked to fugitive self-styled military leader Remissainthe Ravix.

Police said they had arrested one former soldier in connection with the killings and were offering a reward for the capture of two others including Ravix himself.

Haitian National Police spokeswoman Jessie Coicou told around 200 mourners, "This crime won't go unpunished.
