The Canadian Press, 18 Nov, 2016 01:23 PM
    Charges are pending against a suspect that officials say is connected to the murder of a Canadian man killed in Mexico.
     
    The attorney general of Yucatan state says a man has been arrested and charged in relation to a stabbing that took place last Sunday in the port town of Chicxulub Puerto.
     
    A news release from the Yucatan attorney general's office says a Canadian died after he was stabbed repeatedly with a kitchen knife while in the company of the suspect and one other person.
     
    Family members have identified the deceased as 48-year-old Roger Corbett of Victoria.
     
     
    Officials have not released the name of the accused, though he is referred to in the Mexican news release by his initials.
     
    Global Affairs Canada says Mexican police arrested a Canadian following Corbett's death.
     
    The accused will be held in custody before making a court appearance scheduled for Monday.
