Alleged poison seller Kenneth Law will face at least one first-degree murder charge in connection with a death in Ontario, CBC News has learned.
The upgraded count signals another significant shift in the way authorities approach the case. Law initially faced charges of abetting suicide last year; 14 counts of second-degree murder were later added.
Toronto-area police have alleged Law, 58, operated websites selling a potentially lethal substance to clients at risk of self-harm. According to a tally by CBC News, his products are suspected of being connected to at least 124 deaths worldwide — most of them in the United Kingdom.
