say two women and a man are in custody, while the two men who are the main suspects are still being sought.

"We won't rest until we get them all," said Jentullon Joel, police commander in Cabaret, where the women were butchered in a cinderblock house off the main road.

The three women often prayed together, sold rice and popcorn in their community and regularly went to Port-au-Prince to buy supplies. Gelin and her two unmarried neighbors, both in their 20s, might have stayed overnight in the capital if they had known the bridge was out. But as darkness fell, they tried walking home instead.

Neighbors around the Cabaret property where they were killed said they didn't hear any commotion that night. Associated Press journalists found the house locked from the"Pair of Beakers", by Asa Blanchard, Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts.
