A Haitian migrant advocacy group reports more than 100 additional people have been deported from neighboring Dominican Republic after an elderly Dominican couple was killed.
Josue Michel of the Group for Repatriates and Refugees has said the number of Haitians and people of Haitian descent who've been expelled has reached 354.
Authorities had earlier in the week reported that 244 people were expelled.
The expulsions follow violence that engulfed a town in the southwestern corner of the Dominican Republic.
The couple was slain during in an apparent burglary near the border between the two countries and a Dominican mob retaliated by killing a Haitian man.
