Richelson Megzane, also known as “Blanc,” was arrested on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, by Southeast Haiti Police for the brutal beheading of a man with a machete. The crime took place on Sunday, March 30, 2025, in Bois de Gauche, the 7th communal section of Bainet.
Born in October 2004, the suspect had been on the run since the gruesome act, which deeply shocked the local population. “He had been a fugitive for over two months,” confirmed the Haitian National Police in a statement.
Now in custody, Richelson Megzane will soon be brought before judicial authorities. The HNP reaffirmed its commitment to relentlessly pursue all those who spread terror in Haitian communities.
