After his marriage disintegrated in 2004, Winnipeg mechanic Guido Amsel became convinced that the world had it in for him. In July 2015, the bitter dispute that been the subject of legal proceedings erupted in a letter-bomb campaign that maimed his former wife’s lawyer and left Winnipeg “reeling,” in the words of the city’s mayor. On Thursday, Manitoba provincial court Judge Tracey Lord found Amsel, 52, guilty of attempting to murder his ex-wife and two Winnipeg lawyers. “I accept that Mr. Amsel firmly believes his former wife has stolen millions of dollars from him,” the judge ruled. He was convicted of attempting to murder Iris Amsel in 2013 and 2015, as well as Mitousis and lawyer George Orle in 2015.
