Man Arrested in Connection With Dallas Martens Murder Shanine Sealey , Martensville Messenger

D a l l a s Martens was a big presence in Martensville , and
many
friends ,
family
and
acquaintances
have
felt
the
loss within the
community since
his untimely death at the age of 31 . Martens was the victim of a homicide on the island of Roatan , Honduras on September 18 , 2009 , where he was living with his new wife Krissy to adopt a little boy named Will . The young couple had met Will while v o l u n t e e r i n g on the island for a non-profit AIDS awareness group called The Morgan Jayne Project , the previous December . According to The Morgan Jayne Project website , “ In July , they took a giant leap and moved to Roatan to stay a year , and to work in the clinic . They were planning to adopt Baby Will , a baby brought back from the brink of death . The couple fell in love with the boy during their visit at Christmas in 2008 .” While in Honduras , Martens was shot multiple times by masked assailants and died instantly .
Since his death , Dallas ’ family has been left with more questions than answers as to what happened seven years ago . Was Martens in the wrong place at the wrong time and the victim of a random robbery , or was there more to it , and was Martens murdered as part of a contract killing ? According to reports , Martens and his wife Krissy were celebrating their one year anniversary and looking at a home when the masked gunmen ran from the side of the house and grabbed Krissy . Martens apparently moved his body between Krissy and the gunman when he was shot . Following the death , six men were arrested , but later released . In addition , a prosecutor in Honduras informed the media that police were investigating Martens ’ wife Krissy in the murder , although there were never any charges laid . Krissy has continued to adamantly deny all accusations .
Recently , a man in Honduras was arrested in connection with the murder of Martens . According to Policia Nacional de Honduras , members of the DPI arrested 35-year-old Charles Felix Sanders Webster , in the community of Coxen Hole , known as Roatan Town . Webster is facing charges of plotting a murder , withholding information from police and being an accessory to murder . The family was notified of the news this past weekend .
Dallas ’ family still lives in Martensville and continues to seek justice and to do as much as they can to honour him . In 2012 a park was erected in his honour at the corner of Rock Hill Lane and Salmon Way , on land that was once owned by his late uncle , Dave Martens .
