A man who police wanted to question about Allison Witchekan's sudden death earlier this month is now charged with second-degree murder.

Police had been searching for Roberto Ivan Martell for a week. Investigators said he had a relationship with the 28-year-old victim.

Police arrested Martell this past weekend. He appeared in provincial court this week and is also charged with offering an indignity to human remains.

Police were called to Witchekan's home in Saskatoon's Hampton Village on March 4. She had failed to show up for work at Fire Creek Gas and Grill that day.
