NEWMARKET — Prosecutors are expected to withdraw more than a dozen murder charges against Kenneth Law today, with the Ontario man at the heart of an international investigation instead pleading guilty to aiding suicide.
Law, 60, is accused of selling deadly substances online to people at risk of self-harm, some of whom went on to take their own lives.
He was scheduled to stand trial in Newmarket, Ont., last month on 14 counts each of first-degree murder and aiding suicide, charges that relate to people across the province who were between the ages of 16 and 36.
However, Law’s lawyer Matthew Gourlay indicated last month that the murder charges would be withdrawn and his client would plead guilty to the lesser charges.
