One week after a father and four children were found stabbed to death in their Gwinnett County home, the five will be honored together.
Visitation will be held Wednesday for the victims — Martin Romero, 33, and four siblings, including 1-year-old Axel, 4-year-old Dillan, 7-year-old Dacota and 10-year-old Isabela Martinez — from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Byrd and Flanigan Crematory & Funeral Service in Lawrenceville. The youngest child would have turned 2 later this month.

A funeral mass will then be held Thursday at 7:30 pm at St. Lawrence Catholic Church, also in Lawrenceville.
Investigators believe Isabel Martinez, 33, stabbed her husband and four of their children to death early last Thursday morning inside their Loganville mobile home. A fifth child, 9-year-old Diana Romero, was also stabbed but survived.
Martinez was arrested and charged with five counts of malice murder, five counts of murder and six counts of aggravated assault. She remained Tuesday in the Gwinnett jail, where she was being held without bond.
