Reacting in a note to this murder Me Jean Morin, President of the National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH) says he is dismayed by this assassination.

"ANAMAH is shocked by this situation of violence and insecurity which is eating away at the country and which continues to claim victims within the Haitian judiciary.

The National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH) urges the Government Commissioner to instruct the judicial police without delay to launch an investigation in order to find and bring before the court those who committed this crime.

Me Cerisier was known as a professional of great caliber in the judiciary and for his tolerant nature.

While offering all the deepest condolences to the parents of magistrate Ceriseir and to his fellow magistrates, particularly those of the public prosecutor's office in Port-au-Prince, ANAMAH invites all the magistrates of the republic to be cautious and to show solidarity."
