The man charged in the death of Ally Moosehunter, also known as Ally Witchekan, is headed directly to trial, bypassing the preliminary hearing stage.
Saskatoon’s Court of Queen’s Bench received a direct indictment on Jan. 5 for Ivan Roberto Martell, according to court records. He has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder for Ally’s death on March 4, 2020.
Martell and Ally had been in a relationship, but family previously told Global News they were broken up at the time of her death. Ally’s body was found inside a Hampton Village home in the 500 block of Geary Crescent.
