About this picture: Amiot Metayer, a longtime supporter of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the fugitive leader of a gang that terrorized government opponents with impunity was found dead in the town of St. Marc, shot in the heart and in each eye.
Amiot Metayer, 39, was the leader of the so-called Cannibal Army, a Gonaïves-based gang condemned by the Organization of American States for having carried out violent attacks on opponents of Mr. Aristide.
Amiot Metayer was jailed in 2001 on charges stemming from a fight with a rival gang, but supporters freed him in a spectacular jailbreak.
