WINNIPEG — Andrea Giesbrecht, the Winnipeg woman accused of concealing six dead infants in a U-Haul storage locker, will seek to be released on bail Wednesday morning.
Giesbrecht has been in police custody since shortly after the remains were found on Oct. 20.
Employees at a U-Haul facility found the remains after they started cleaning out the locker because Giesbrecht was behind on her payments.
Greg Brodsky, her lawyer, has pushed for an independent pathologist to be present at the remainder of the autopsies, which officials say are 90 per cent complete.
At Wednesday morning’s hearing the judge will also say when he will decide if that will be allowed.
“What I want is a pathologist that’s competent to be present, with hands in pocket and Velcro on his mouth — there to observe,” Brodsky told the court at an earlier hearing.
The court heard disturbing details Friday of how the remains were found.
The bodies were reportedly wrapped in garbage bags which were put in duffel bags and containers.
The last body was wrapped in a towel and garbage bag and placed in a pail, according to police reports.
The age of the remains is also an issue. If the autopsies reveal the babies were born alive, the charges could be upgraded and murder charges could be laid.
