NEW GERMANY MAN RULED NOT FIT TO STAND TRIAL-FOR NOW

A Lunenburg County man, accused of fatally shooting his estranged wife in June, has been found unfit to stand trial because of mental impairment caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.


Wayne Paul Eisnor of New Germany has appeared in Bridgewater provincial court on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Tina Mae Eisnor.

The court was told that Eisnor suffered a wound to his brain and doesn't fully comprehend that his wife is dead.

Eisnor is being held at the East Coast Forensic Unit in Dartmouth and the Nova Scotia Review Board will determine in another 45 days if he is still unfit to stand trial.
