NEWMARKET, Canada (AFP) — The Canadian man who sold packages of poison to distressed people in dozens of countries pleaded guilty on Friday to 14 counts of aiding suicide, but prosecutors said he will not face murder charges.

Kenneth Law, a 60-year-old former chef, ran online forums that offered people advice on how to end their lives and made fatal substances available for purchase.

The details of Law’s online operation have caused widespread outrage since his arrest in 2023.
