NEWMARKET — An Ontario man accused of selling deadly substances online to people at risk of self-harm has pleaded guilty to 14 counts of aiding suicide.
Kenneth Law entered the pleas in a Newmarket, Ont., court this morning.
Law was scheduled to stand trial last month on these charges as well as 14 of first-degree murder but his defence lawyer, Matthew Gourlay, indicated that the murder charges would be withdrawn and his client would instead plead guilty to the lesser charges.
Court heard today that the Crown plans to withdraw the murder charges after Law is sentenced. A sentencing hearing is expected to take place this fall.
