Discovery of Cadaver Remains Suspected to Be Linked to Human Organ Trafficking Network

PETION-VILLE— Agents from the Anti-Narcotics Trafficking Brigade (BLTS) and the DCPJ discovered, on Wednesday, May 21, in an abandoned house, cadaver remains suspected of being linked to a presumed human trafficking and organ trafficking network.

The house in question is the former GNS Plazza, located between the areas of Frères and Pernier, in the commune of Pétion-Ville. Inside, several decomposing cadavers, which appeared to have been dismembered, were stored on stretchers in various rooms.

Human bones and extracted body parts (from deceased individuals) were also found, both inside and outside the building, which was believed to be used as a hideout by the presumed traffickers.

During this multi-hour operation, agents discovered, among other things, medical and logistical equipment. A suspect, Exama Bazil, who was reportedly in charge of monitoring the premises, was apprehended on site. He denied any involvement in this criminal activity.

However, he admitted to having seen cadaver remains and bones abandoned to dogs, causing a foul odor in the area. Furthermore, he stated that the building, rented to individuals by Éric Jean-Baptiste's son, previously housed a hospital center.

According to him, the bodies found were intended for practice sessions for intern nurses, but the individuals responsible reportedly fled the premises due to insecurity.

DCPJ investigators are continuing to question this first suspect in connection with the case, but nothing official has yet been communicated on the matter.
