Senior officials escape Haiti jail
A human rights activist who had access to the prison said former prime minister Yvon Neptune and former interior minister Jocelerme Privert escaped in Saturday's prison break-out.

A prison guard was killed in the escape.

A police source said the prison was invaded by an armed group and the prison guard was shot in the head and killed.

Witnesses told police that intense shooting erupted after three vehicles approached the front of the prison at about 3.30pm (2030 GMT).
