"Crown prosecutors are withdrawing all 14 murder charges laid against Kenneth Law, who is accused of selling a toxic substance to individuals at risk of self-harm."
"Law, a trained engineer, has been linked to 14 deaths across Ontario, with victims ranging in age from 16 to 36, including Jeshennia Bedoya Lopez and Ashtyn Prosser."
"If Law's murder charges are dropped, he will face a maximum sentence of 14 years for abetting suicide, compared to life in prison for a murder conviction."
Crown prosecutors have withdrawn 14 murder charges against Kenneth Law, who will plead guilty to counselling or aiding suicide. Law, linked to 14 deaths in Ontario, operated online storefronts selling a toxic substance. He has been in custody since May 2023. The case will return to court for his formal plea. If convicted of aiding suicide, Law faces a maximum sentence of 14 years, significantly shorter than the life sentence for murder.
