WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg woman accused of hiding the remains of six infants in a storage locker is seeking bail.
Andrea Giesbrecht is scheduled to appear in court this afternoon.
The 40-year-old is facing charges of concealing the bodies, as well as unrelated fraud charges and breaching a court order.
She has been in custody since her arrest in October following the discovery of the remains by employees at a storage locker facility.
Police notes read out in court say officers found bodies wrapped in garbage bags and placed in various bags or plastic containers.
Police have said it could take months of forensic examination before it's known who the parents were, how the infants died and whether they were full term.
A judge rejected a request from Giesbrecht's lawyer to have an independent pathologist observe the autopsies of the six infants.
Defence lawyer Greg Brodsky had argued that since police were allowed to observe the autopsies, his client should have the same right. But the medical examiner said it would have been like having the accused in the examining room.
