Kenneth Law: Canadian who allegedly sold poison to Britons won't face justice in UK
Canadian authorities are expected to handle the case after investigators linked his sales to 112 UK deaths, prosecutors said.
- On Friday, the Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that Canadian man Kenneth Law will not face extradition to Britain, as he is expected to plead guilty in Ontario today to 14 counts of aiding suicide.
- The National Crime Agency investigation found that Law sent 330 products to the UK, with 286 individuals receiving packages that led to 112 deaths among British citizens.
- In a letter to bereaved families, the CPS and NCA explained that Law should be sentenced for the full extent of his offending within a single process in Canada, citing standard international legal practices.
- Families of those who died are now calling for a statutory public inquiry, with Adele Zeynep Walton stating that for those seeking justice, "doors have been shut" by the decision not to prosecute in Britain.
- Andy Burrows of the Molly Rose Foundation called the decision a "bitter blow," emphasizing that vulnerable people remain at risk while websites and lethal substances continue to be available across international borders.
