| Site of June 30, 2010 New Germany Shooting |
A Lunenburg County man accused of killing his estranged wife more than 2 years ago, has been found fit to stand trial. A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has upheld an earlier ruling which now clears the way for a 2-day preliminary hearing at the end of November. Wayne Paul Eisnor is charged with first-degree murder in the June 2010 shooting death of his estranged wife, Tina Mae Eisnor in a New Germany parking lot. The accused then turned the gun on himself, causing a brain injury that raised questions about his mental fitness to stand trial. This past April, a lower court ruled Wayne Eisnor's resulting amnesia is genuine, but that he didn't need to have a memory of the event to be able to instruct his lawyer on his defence.
