Duperval was the Haitian army's second in command during the 1991-1994 military dictatorship of Raoul Cedras, which ousted elected president Jean Bertrand Aristide in a bloody coup in September 1991.
After constitutional order was restored, Duperval was convicted in absentia for the slayings of 28 people in a massacre at Raboteau, in the city of Gonaives, north of Haiti's capital.
Arrested in Florida on January 14, Duperval arrived on a flight here yesterday along with 25 other people repatriated to Haiti for a variety of reasons.
The former general had lived in the US for nine years, according to The Miami Herald.
He now faces retrial in Haiti. – Sapa-AFP.
