WINNIPEG — A Winnipeg woman accused of hiding the remains of six infants in a storage locker has had an unrelated charge against her stayed.
Andrea Giesbrecht’s lawyer, Matthew Gould, says the Crown has decided not to proceed with a charge of fraud over $5,000 that alleged she defrauded a neighbour.
Giesbrecht pleaded guilty in February to fraud for receiving social assistance payments despite being married and receiving rent from a property she owned.
Court was told Giesbrecht had a gambling addiction and she was sentenced to time served.
