WINNIPEG – New details are emerging about how police discovered the remains of six infants in a Winnipeg storage locker. Parts of the police report were read out in court Friday during a hearing over who could observe the autopsy of the remains.
The report said police were called to the U-Haul facility Oct. 20 after employees said the locker had a strong odour and contained “squishy bags.”
Police notes indicate they found some bodies wrapped in garbage bags put in various bags and plastic containers. One body was wrapped in towel, as well as a garbage bag, and stored in a pail.
Crown attorney Debbie Buors told the court one officer opened a container and saw limbs that belonged to an infant. Andrea Giesbrecht was arrested soon after and charged with six counts of concealing a body. The 40-year-old, showed little emotion as the details of the remains were discussed in court.
Greg Brodsky, Giesbrecht’s lawyer, is trying to get a court order to allow a pathologist of his choosing to observe the autopsy even though much of the examination is already complete. The judge has reserved his decision.
