A Canadian man who allegedly helped more than a dozen young people across the province of Ontario kill themselves by mailing them poison has been charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder, police said on Tuesday.
“It’s clearly significant … to be laying this many [charges] and that’s not taken lightly by the investigative team,” Inspector Simon James of the police force in York, a northern district of Toronto, told a televised press conference.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp, citing official records and statements, said Law could be linked to 117 deaths around the world, most of them in Britain.
It said authorities in New Zealand, France, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Switzerland all confirmed that Law shipped packages to their countries.
Law, who police alleged used a number of websites to reach his victims, is in jail and will make his next court appearance on 19 December.
In April 2020, a 51-year-old man shot dead 22 people in the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia before being killed by police.
