Winnipeg Woman Accused Of Hiding Baby Remains Had Affair: Trial Witness

IANS, 19 Jul, 2016 12:28 PM
    WINNIPEG — A former friend of a Winnipeg woman accused of concealing the remains of six infants says the woman had an affair and concealed pregnancies.
     
    Lyn Burdett has told Andrea Giesbrecht's trial that she twice saw Giesbrecht gain weight and appear pregnant.
     
    Burdett also said she provided an alibi for Giesbrecht when she spent a weekend with a boyfriend.
     
    Burdett said Giesbrecht told her husband she was going to Minnesota with her.
     
    Giesbrecht was arrested in October 2014 after the remains were found in plastic pails, bins and other containers in a U-Haul storage locker she had rented.
     
    The judge-only trial has already heard it is unclear how long the remains had been there, but some were very decomposed.
