Three Christian missionaries from Oklahoma-based group killed in Haiti

Missouri state Rep Ben Baker's daughter and her husband were killed in a gang attack in Haiti on Thursday, May 23. The American couple -- Davy and Natalie Lloyd -- and Jude Montis, the Haitian director of a nonprofit organisation, were shot and killed by gang members, according to their organisation, Missions in Haiti Inc., AFP reported.

Rep Ben Baker confirmed the deaths of his daughter and son-in-law in a Facebook post. "They were attacked by gangs this evening and were both killed. They went to Heaven together," Mr Baker wrote. He claimed that his “heart is broken in a thousand pieces,” and “I've never felt this kind of pain.”

The Oklahoma-based nonprofit, founded in 2000, was “devastated” over the loss, stating that the missionaries were ambushed by a gang of three trucks full of assailants and killed about 9 o'clock this evening.
