Martens and his wife Krissy Larsen-Martens had moved to the island of Roatan to adopt a boy.

The couple was approached by a hooded gunman on Sept. 18, 2009, and Martens was shot and killed.

Last October, Policia Nacional de Honduras confirmed they arrested 35-year-old Charles Félix Sanders Webster in connection to the death.

The victim’s mother, Verna Martens, said a Canadian government official told her a trial is scheduled for March 16 and 17.

Webster is from Roatan, according to Honduran police. The island is situated about 65 kilometres off the northern coast of mainland Honduras.
