Andrea Giesbrecht, the Winnipeg woman accused of concealing the remains of six infants in a storage locker, pleaded guilty Monday to unrelated charges.

She was accused of defrauding Employment and Income Assistance of more than $5,000 between Dec. 1, 2011, and May 1, 2012.

Her sentencing has been put over until Feb. 9.

Giesbrecht, also known as Andrea Naworynski, has previously pleaded guilty to fraud over $5,000 for borrowing $7,850 from an elderly woman, then writing bad cheques and not repaying her.

Court heard at that time, that she struggled with a gambling addiction for at least 14 years.

Giesbrecht faces six counts of concealing bodies of infants after the remains were found on Oct. 20, 2014, inside a U-Haul storage locker that she had been renting. She will go to trial on those charges in April 2016.
