Bail denied in
coffin case

THE 44-YEAR-OLD Vancouver man charged in connection with
the delivery of a coffin to a British Properties home and an explo-
sion in the garage of another home a block away has been ordered
to be held in custody until the case comes to trial.

Sean Morriss appeared Monday in West Vancouver provincial
court to show cause why he should be released on bail on the 11
charges he faces in connection with a series of bizarre incidents in
which threats were alleged to have been made to four people in
West Vancouver, Richmond and Vancouver.

Originally charged July 8 with obstructing justice after an ex-
Fiusive device was detonated in the garage of a West Vancouver
lawyer’s home July 6, Morriss was charged July 13 with an addi-
tional 10 criminal counts, including uttering threats, extortion,
mischief and intent {9 cause injury by causing an explosion.

All charges were laid against Morriss in connection with inci-
dents alieged to have occurred between July 3 and 7 in which two
cars were allegsd to have been damaged in Richmond and life-size
coffins dropped on the front lawn of a Richmond businessman,
delivered to a home a block away from the West Vancouver lawyer
and found at the entraace {> a Granville Island building.

Morriss has been remanded in custody to July 27 to fix a date for
trial in West Vancouver provincial court on the charges.
