A former Canadian chef accused of selling suicide kits that lead to deaths in several countries was charged Monday with 14 counts of murder related to suicides in Canada as a result of his online scheme.

The charges filed against Kenneth Law, 58, are on top of 14 he already faces for allegedly "counseling or aiding" suicides across Ontario province, according to documents. His defense lawyer Matthew Gourlay also confirmed to AFP that Law has been charged with 14 new counts of second degree murder.

Law was arrested in May for marketing masks and sodium nitrite, a substance that is used as a food additive but can kill if misused. In June, Canadian police released photos of the sodium nitrate, adding that a joint operation led by 11 police agencies from across Ontario were investigating the case.

Law is said to have targeted vulnerable people online.

"Investigators are asking members of the community to be alert of any packaging or label identifying sodium nitrate," Constable Sarah Patten said in a video release.

He is believed to have sent as many as 1,200 packages to people in more than 40 countries since 2020.

88 deaths linked to Canadian self-harm websites as U.K. opens investigation

British police are investigating the deaths of 88 people in the U.K. who bought products from Canada-based websites allegedly offering lethal substances to people at risk of self harm, the country's National Crime Agency said Friday.

The probe is part of international inquiries sparked by the arrest in Canada earlier this year of Kenneth Law, who has been charged with two counts of counseling and aiding suicide.

Canadian police say Law, from the Toronto area, used a series of websites to market and sell sodium nitrite, a substance commonly used to cure meats that can be deadly if ingested.

Police said Law is suspected of sending at least 1,200 packages to more than 40 countries.

Authorities in the United States, Italy, Australia and New Zealand also have launched investigations.

WTF. How was he able to send out that many without it being noticed?! You would think that someone would notice the website and report it or something. I'm all for Death with Dignity and Right to Die, but this isn't it.
