The case of a man accused of killing eight men with ties to Toronto's Gay Village has been put over for several weeks.

Bruce McArthur, a 66-year-old self-employed landscaper, faces eight counts of first-degree murder.

McArthurappeared briefly by video Friday morning and is now expected to appear in person on Oct. 22.

The remains of seven men were recovered from planters at a property where McArthur had worked in the months following his arrest last January.

Police later found the remains of the eighth alleged victim in a ravine behind the same property in midtown Toronto.

Lead detective Insp. Hank Idsinga has said he doesn't believe there are any more alleged victims.
