A former nurse accused of killing eight elderly patients in her care made a brief court appearance on Wednesday.
Elizabeth Wettlaufer, 49, appeared in a Woodstock, Ont. courtroom via video link. Her case was put over to Nov. 18.
Wettlaufer has been charged with eight counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of elderly patients at two nursing homes in Woodstock and London, Ont.
Police said the alleged murders occurred between 2007 and 2014. Investigators said "a drug was administered" to the victims, who ranged in age from 75 to 96.
Wettlaufer was a registered nurse with a long history in the health-care field. According to the College of Nurses of Ontario, she is “not entitled to practice” in the province anymore.
