  • Description : The driver of Presidential Adviser Joseph Lambert, Floresthal Romain, 31, was found in Orange Bay in Belle-Anse on Sunday with a bullet to the shoulder and one to the head in the vehicle belonging to his employer. The assailant or assailants remain unidentified and many other questions remain unanswered.
  • Location : Belle-Anse

Overview

  • Reports say Floresthal was undertaking a task given to him by former Senator Joseph Lambert, who is also a candidate in the upcoming elections and was not in the vehicle at the time. It is believed that the 31-year old driver was already pulled over on the shoulder of a remote road when he was shot.

    Suspicions are rampant. What would have caused the driver to have pulled over in a remote area unless he was meeting someone he trusted there or was pulled over by law enforcement?

    The South East department has been known as an area of terror during election time with two Lamberts, Joseph and his younger brother Wencesclass, winning elections under those conditions.
