A former Ontario nurse accused of killing eight seniors had her case put over to next month after briefly appearing in a Woodstock, Ont., court by video on Wednesday morning.
Elizabeth Wettlaufer has been charged with eight counts of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault related to patients in her care.
Her lawyer said he received ``substantial disclosure'' on Wednesday and needs time to review it.
Police have alleged the crimes occurred over the last decade at three long-term care facilities in Ontario where the 49-year-old Woodstock, Ont., woman worked as a registered nurse, and at a private home.
The investigation into Wettlaufer began last September after authorities became aware of information she gave to a psychiatric hospital in Toronto that caused them concern, a police source has told The Canadian Press.
Wettlaufer is next scheduled to appear in court by video on March 3.
