US missionaries still held in Haiti to be freed

 Two US missionaries still held in Haiti on child kidnapping charges are expected to be freed this week, the judge hearing their case said on Tuesday.

"The case will be over this week because we have no criminal grounds to pursue it," the judge, Bernard Sainvil, told Reuters. He spoke after questioning the two Americans, Laura Silsby and Charis Coulter, in a Port-au-Prince courtroom. (Reuters)
