Ex-wife of Winnipeg man accused of sending letter bombs denies sending it herself
WINNIPEG — The ex-wife of a man accused in a mail bomb attack that left a Winnipeg lawyer severely injured has denied sending the explosive device herself to get back at him for accusing her of stealing from a business they once co-owned.
“No,” Iris Amsel testified Tuesday while being cross-examined by defence lawyer Saheel Zaman. “That is not correct.”
Her ex-husband, Guido Amsel, 51, faces five counts of attempted murder and other charges after a July 2015 explosion at a law firm that injured Maria Mitousis.
Mitousis lost a hand in the blast and suffered severe injuries to her face, torso and legs.
