Canadian Man Pleads Guilty To Selling Lethal Substances

Ontario (AP) — A Canadian man accused of running an online operation selling lethal products in more than 40 countries has pleaded guilty to 14 counts of counseling or aiding suicide. A lawyer for Kenneth Law says Canadian prosecutors will withdraw 14 murder charges in exchange for the plea. Police in Canada and internationally have been investigating more than 100 suicides linked to Law. Canadian police say he used a series of websites to market and sell sodium nitrite. The substance is commonly used to cure meats and can be deadly if ingested. Police say Law is suspected of sending at least 1,200 packages to more than 40 countries.
