Family and friends of Elizabeth Wettlaufer’s victims are calling for an inquiry after they heard more details of her crimes in a Woodstock courtroom Thursday.

They watched, horrified, as Wettlaufer’s confession to Woodstock police played on court screens.

“I was so angry and it was like a voice said inside me, i’ll use you, don’t worry about it and the different times that I have caused people death or caused them discomfort, through the insulin, I believed it was the influence of that voice or whatever it was. It wasn’t a voice in my head it was a voice in here (points at stomach) and when I would do it afterwards I would hear like a laughter in my chest.

Wettlaufer pleaded guilty to killing eight people, trying to kill four others, and the aggravated assault of two more. She described how easy it was to get drugs as a registered nurse, both for the insulin she used to kill people and the opioid she was addicted to. The families say the system has to change.

Family members of the 14 victims will read statements of how this crime has impacted them later this month, when court reconvenes for sentencing.
