Kenneth Law charged with 14 counts of 2nd-degree murder in multiple Ontario deaths
A charge sheet from the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket shows Law was charged Monday with 14 counts of second-degree murder, in addition to the 14 counts of counselling or aiding suicide that he was already facing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Accused poison seller Kenneth Law has been charged with murder in connection with multiple deaths across Ontario, CBC News has learned.
The new charges are related to the same alleged victims in multiple Ontario cities, from Toronto to Thunder Bay.
Law, who is a 57-year-old man from Mississauga, Ont., was first arrested in May after Peel Regional Police investigated two local deaths.
Police allege that beginning in late 2020, Law operated several websites that were used to sell sodium nitrite and other items that can be used for self harm.
Official records and statements along with media reports and interviews with families conducted by CBC News suggest Law's projects may be linked to 116 deaths worldwide.
CBC News has reached out to Law's lawyer Matthew Gourlay for comment.
