The son of Elizabeth Wettlaufer’s final murder victim wants to see some changes to how the College of Nurses of Ontario reacts to complaints and concerns.
The College found the former Woodstock nurse guilty of professional misconduct and revoked her certification.
Arphad Horvath Jr. says the college of nurses need to analyze any kind of offence. “Any kind of complaint should be checked out with the same amount of diligence like any other complaint anywhere else.”
“There should be accountability and due diligence in nursing homes and in colleges and the college of nurses because they have a job to do, and if they don’t do it well they need to improve it,” he says.
Horvath Jr. says he feels justice has been served in this case to a certain point because she was sentenced in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. “ I’ll never forget those years back that I lose with my father having this had never happened and also because this monster is in prison and she’s basically living on our dime, and breathing the same air I’m breathing, and there’s justice to a certain point but not total justice.”
Horvath Jr. explains what would provide him with the ultimate closure. “If I knew for a fact that she didn’t exist in this world that would be the closure for me because otherwise there’s no real closure after that. I have to carry around this giant cross on my shoulder every day that my father was murdered, he didn’t’ die of a disease or natural causes, he died because someone had a bad day.”
Wettlaufer pleaded guilty to the first degree murder of 8 seniors in June.
Caressant Care nursing home in Woodstock released a statement in regards to the College of Nurses of Ontario.
