Hearing Set for Men Involved in Calgary Restaurant Triple-Shooting

By Kelsey Andersen

On April 19, 2010, three of four men will face their two week preliminary hearing regarding the triple homicide that happened at the Bolsa Restaurant on New Years of 2009.

The date was set by provincial Judg,e Les Grieve, on Thursday for the three men charged. Nicholas Rodrigo Hovansian, 24; Nathan Zuccherato, 23; and Michael Joseph Roberto, 25 are all facing three counts of first-degree murder.

The gang related shootings claimed three victims, Sanjeev Mann, Aaron Bendle and bystander Keni Su'a.

Shane Parker, crown prosecutor, claims that Zuccherato and Roberto will join before the spring hearing along with Hovanesian, who was arrested early October in Lethbridge.

Christian Honorio, age 25, also faces charges related to the gang-related killings, along with three first-degree murder charges. He is scheduled to be in court November 19, 2009, and his preliminary hearing will most likely be set at the November court appearance.

Investigators have reason to believe that victims Mann, 22, and Bendle, 22, were targeted because of a gang feud that has been linked to at least 25 homicides in recent years.

Su'a, 43, was a bystander who fled Bolsa Restaurant when the shots began. Su'a was met by a third gunman outside who gunned him down, according to police investigations.

I believe that this article is very compelling. It's short, sweet, and gets right to the point. All the articles that I have used, once again, show no room for opinions at all. They all seem to be very fact-based. It would have made it more legit if the article could have used some quotes.
I also think that we will be hearing a lot more about this trial coming up because it was big news back in early 2009 and people are interested in hearing what is going to happen.

We should be hearing more about this after the November 19, 2009 preliminary trial happens. Also, we should be hearing a lot more news after the other 3 convicted men have reached their preliminary hearing date.
