Crown Evidence So Far Shows No Foul Play In Manitoba Infant Deaths: Lawyer

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Mar, 2015 11:35 AM

    WINNIPEG — There are still no answers as to the identity of six infants whose remains were found last October in a Winnipeg U-Haul storage locker.

    Greg Brodsky, the lawyer for the woman accused of hiding the remains, says autopsies and other analysis done by the Crown show no sign of foul play.

    Brodsky also told court there is still nothing to indicate the infants were not stillborn, and the identity of any parents has not been determined.

    Andrea Giesbrecht (GEEZ'-brecht), who is 40, remains in custody on six counts of concealing the bodies.

    The Crown declined to comment on its findings, as the case is still before the court.

    No trial date has been set, and the matter has been put over to April 17 while Brodsky awaits further evidence disclosure from the Crown.

    The remains were found by employees at the storage locker facility who were checking on an unpaid rental bill.

    Police notes previously read out in court indicate that officers found bodies wrapped in garbage bags and placed in either a duffel bag, a tote bag or plastic containers.

    One officer managed to pry open a container and saw "limbs that belonged to an infant," court heard.

    Brodsky said last December that initial tests showed the remains dated back between eight and 10 years.
