PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- A well-known Haitian journalist was found shot to death Thursday, five days after he was seized while driving in the capital, according to colleagues.

The body of Jacques Roche, which had signs of torture, was left in the central Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Delmas, said Gerin Alexandre, head of information at Radio Caraibes.

Roche was in charge of the cultural section of Le Matin newspaper and moderated a talk show on a local TV station. He was seized Sunday morning while in his car in the Port-au-Prince neighborhood of Nazon.

Le Matin's editors confirmed the death, but declined further comment.
