British authorities are investigating two additional deaths in the UK (April and May 2025) potentially linked to Kenneth Law, a Toronto-area man already facing 14 murder charges in Ontario for allegedly selling a toxic salt and suicide paraphernalia online. Law, arrested in May 2023, is suspected of supplying 99 people in the UK and 133 worldwide (including US, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, New Zealand, and multiple Canadian provinces) with lethal substances. His lawyer plans a not-guilty plea, arguing the murder charges may not be legally viable due to a pending Supreme Court of Canada ruling on assisted suicide.
