Kenneth Law has now pleaded guilty to 14 charges of aiding and abetting suicide, as murder charges against the Ontario man will be withdrawn by the Crown.
Law pleaded guilty to the charges in a Newmarket courthouse on Friday morning.
Law was arrested in 2023 in connection with 14 deaths in Ontario after he was accused of aiding and abetting those suicides by supplying a deadly chemical, which is used to preserve meat but is deadly when consumed in high concentrations.
At the time of his arrest, police said Law sent more than 1,200 packages to 41 countries.
This is a breaking news story. More details to come.
