The bodies of two of the people who are alleged to have been killed by a former nurse have been exhumed.
London police and the OPP say the bodies of Arpad Horvath and Helen Matheson were exhumed on Tuesday morning as part of the investigation into charges of first degree murder against Elizabeth Wettlaufer.
The body of Arpad Horvath, who was a resident of Meadow Park nursing home in London at the time of his death in August of 2014, was removed from the ground at St. Peter's Cemetery in east London. The body of Helen Matheson, a resident of Caressant Care in Woodstock at the time of her death in October of 2011, was taken from the ground at a cemetery in Innerkip.
Police couldn't say what evidence they were specifically looking for, citing the ongoing investigation.
Wettlaufer was charged in October with eight counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Horvath, Matheson, and six other residents of Caressant Care in Woodstock.
On January 13, she was charged with four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault. Those charges relate to crimes she allegedly committed against seniors at Caressant Care, Telfer Place in Paris, and at a private residence in Oxford County.
At a brief court appearance in Woodstock that day, she was remanded into custody until her next appearance on February 15.
