Infants Found Concealed In Winnipeg Storage Locker By Mother Probably Born Alive: Doctor

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 21 Apr, 2016 12:15 PM
    WINNIPEG — A neo-natal expert says some, if not all, of the six infants found concealed in a Winnipeg storage locker were born alive.
     
    Dr. Michael Narvey is testifying at the trial of Andrea Giesbrecht, who is charged with concealing the babies' remains. 
     
    Narvey says the infants were all at or near full term — 34 to 42 weeks.
     
    He also says the remains showed no obvious signs of congenital defects, and the odds of a woman having six stillborn babies are "extremely improbable."
     
     
    Court heard on Wednesday that DNA tests indicate Giesbrecht and her husband were likely to be the parents of the infants.
     
    Medical records show Giesbrecht had at least 10 legal abortions between 1994 and 2011.
     
    No has has yet been able to say how long the remains were in the U-Haul storage locker before they were discovered by an employee in October 2014.
