A London MPP looked for answers at Queen's Park after the announcement that a nurse is accused of killing eight residents of long term care homes in Woodstock and London.

London Fanshawe MPP Teresa Armstrong of the NDP pointed her query toward the premier during Question Period on Tuesday, not long after police announced the charges against 49-year-old Elizabeth Tracey Mae Wettlaufer.

Armstrong asked Kathleen Wynne, "How do murders go undetected for nearly ten years inside any long-term care home in Ontario?"

The exchange can be viewed below.
