‘Don’t leave me:’ Winnipeg lawyer injured by letter bomb asked for comfort
WINNIPEG — Immediately after a letter bomb exploded inside the small family-law firm where Maria Mitousis worked, she slumped in her doorway, covered in blood and begged a colleague not to leave her side.
“I heard a large bang and (there was) a scream, followed with a second scream,” Connie Petersen, managing partner at the Petersen King law firm in Winnipeg told a courtroom Wednesday.
“Maria was walking out of her office … she slid down the side of her door frame.”
Two co-workers called 911 and were told to evacuate the office, Petersen added.
