The bodies of two seniors believed to be victims of a former nurse charged with murder were exhumed from cemeteries in southwestern Ontario this morning.

London Police confirmed to CTV News Kitchener that the body of Arpad Horvath was exhumed from St. Peter’s Cemetery in London Tuesday.

The body of Helen Matheson was also exhumed this morning from Innerkip Cemetery.

According to police, the victim’s remains will be sent to the Ontario Forensic Pathology Services to be examined for evidence in relation to the death of eight seniors at long-term care facilities in Ontario.

Elizabeth Tracey Mae Wettlaufer was charged in October of 2016 with eight counts of first-degree murder in connection with the death of seven seniors at the Caressant Care nursing home in Woodstock and one death at Meadow Park long-term care home in London, Ont.

On Jan. 13, Ontario Provincial Police charged Wettlaufer with six more offences, including four counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

The new charges stem from allegations about six new patients – four from Caressant Care in Woodstock, one from Telfer Place in Brant County and one from a private residence in Oxford County.

Police previously indicated that the eight initial victims died after they were administered a drug.

Though investigators wouldn’t speak to whether a drug was given to the new victims, court documents accuse the suspect of injecting them with insulin while they were in Wettlaufer’s care.

Police have not commented on a motive.

Matheson was a resident at Caressant Care at the time of her death while Horvath was a resident at Meadow Park in London.

Susan Horvath, the daughter of Arpad Horvath, told CTV News Toronto via phone Tuesday that she hopes the exhumation will help investigators determine how her father died.

"I went today to see the exhuming of my father. My poor father," she said. "It was like another funeral. (It was) exactly the same except worse because now we know more about the conditions... so my Dad will never rest in peace, obviously."
