Judge's clerks who have been assisting in the investigation into the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse have recieved "serious death threats," a local report said.

The National Association of Haitian Clerks said Monday that two of its members, Marcelin Valentin and Waky Philostène, clerks of the Pétion-Ville peace court, have gotten the threats, according to French-language newspaper Le Nouvelliste.

In a note Monday, the president of the association called on Haiti's Justice and Public Security Minister Rockefeller Vincent to "pass the necessary instructions in order to guarantee the security of these aforementioned clerks, so that they can carry out their task in peace," the news outlet reported.

Moïse was assassinated by a group of armed assailants who stormed into his home at around 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Haitian first lady Martine Moïse was also critically injured in the attack.

Authorities in Haiti have said 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans have been linked to the president's killing.
