Ravix Remissainthe was one of the key figures in a three-week uprising that ousted former President Jean-Bernard Aristide, who fled Haiti last year. Ravix was wanted by police in connection with the murder of four officers in February and several other attacks on police stations. Rival armed gangs are still out of control in the violence-ridden country.

UN civilian police spokesman Dan Moskaluk, who confirmed the death of the self-styled leader former Haitian military personnel to the Associated Press news agency, described it as the "elimination of a threat" to UN personnel and Haitian police.

Remissainthe, a former sergeant, had been clashing with law-enforcement authorities over the re-establishment of the army, which was disbanded in 1994.
