Canadian Kenneth Law has pleaded guilty to multiple counts of aiding suicide.

According to Oxu.Az, citing The Guardian and Reuters, he ran an online operation selling poison kits and instructions to vulnerable individuals.

Law admitted to facilitating the suicides of 14 Canadians, aged 16 to 36. He agreed to cooperate with prosecutors after charges were reduced from murder to aiding or procuring suicide.

He also confessed to helping 79 Britons die after being assured he would not be extradited to the UK.

Law was arrested in 2023. Canadian police say he sold poison kits and guides on his websites since 2020. He shipped over 1,200 kits to buyers in at least 41 countries, including Italy, the US, and Australia. Police found he sold at least 286 kits to UK residents, leading to 112 deaths.

Law's sentencing is expected in September. He faces up to 14 years in prison for aiding suicide.
