The two were on the job when they were shot on a country road east of Calgary on Aug 6. Hough was with Rock View County and the suspects fled in the county truck.
With help from Edmonton police, Mounties later arrested 35-year-old Arthur Wayne Penner and charged him with first-degree murder in the death of Hough, from Airdrie, along with attempted murder of the second worker.
Penner made his first court appearance on Thursday and will be back before a judge Tuesday.
