Judge Reserves Decision On Whether Accused Winnipeg Mail Bomber Should Get Bail

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 21 Apr, 2016 11:44 AM
    WINNIPEG — A judge has reserved decision on whether a Winnipeg man accused of sending letter bombs to his former wife and two lawyers should be granted bail.
     
    It's the second time Guido Amsel has applied to be released from custody.
     
    He's appealing a decision from last September that denied him bail.
     
    Amsel, who is 49, was charged with three counts of attempted murder after letter bombs were sent to a pair of law firms and to his ex-wife last summer.
     
    Two of the explosives were safely detonated, but one exploded and seriously injured a lawyer who had represented Amsel's wife in the couple's divorce.
     
    Maria Mitousis lost a hand and suffered severe injuries to her upper body.
     
    Submissions made at the bail review are under a publication ban.
     
    Amsel also faces a number of weapons and explosives charges.
     
    Earlier this month, two new attempted murder charges were laid against him in relation to an explosion at his former wife’s home in April 2013.
