‘Prayed for this:’ Honduras police make arrest in Saskatchewan man’s death
MARTENSVILLE, Sask. — Verna Martens has amassed a thick file folder of notes and documents and hounded government officials in Canada and Honduras with letters and phone calls since her son was shot and killed in 2009.
A few days ago, she got good news.
A consular official told her that police in the Central American country had a suspect in custody.
“We had prayed for this — for truth and justice,” Martens said Tuesday from her home in Martensville, just outside Saskatoon.
