The police on Sunday questioned the pastor who ran a Haitian school that collapsed, killing 84 people, but he has not been charged with a crime, the justice secretary, Joseph-Luc Euchere, said.
‘Haitian authorities are looking into the matter,’ the secretary said, adding that the pastor, Augustin Fortain, was being questioned but ‘has not been formally charged with anything.’
‘We are not going to act on emotion,’ he said.
Rescuers have been searching around the clock for survivors in the rubble of the three-story school building which collapsed during school hours on Friday morning.
