Little has changed since Kenneth Law’s arrest, says father whose son died by suicide
The Crown is expected to drop murder charges as Law pleads guilty to 14 aiding-suicide counts, after police said he shipped about 1,200 packages worldwide.
- On Friday, Kenneth Law is expected to plead guilty to aiding suicide in Newmarket, Ont., as prosecutors withdraw 14 first-degree murder charges against him.
- Police allege Law operated websites selling lethal substances, shipping 1,200 packages to over 40 countries, with about 160 sent to Canada targeting 14 victims in Ontario aged 16 to 36.
- David Parfett, whose son Tom died in 2021 after purchasing from a website linked to Law, said "Canadians are still dying yet those deaths should have been prevented with lessons learned from the Law case."
- The plea deal follows multiple trial delays while awaiting a Supreme Court of Canada decision that declined to "conclusively resolve" the "abstract legal issue" regarding murder charges in suicides.
- Britain's National Crime Agency is investigating deaths linked to Canadian-based websites, while a New Zealand coroner found four fatalities involved Law's business, prompting Parfett to seek his extradition to the United Kingdom.
