Canadian 'poison seller' linked to 112 deaths of Britons pleads guilty to aiding suicide — but won't face justice in UK

A Canadian "poison seller" who was linked to 112 British deaths has pleaded guilty to aiding suicide - but he will not face justice in the UK. Kenneth Law, 60, who sold lethal substances to people across the globe, appeared at an Ontario court earlier today. He faced 14 charges of aiding suicide and subsequently pleaded guilty to all 14 counts. None of the charges relate to his connections with the British deaths. However, Law will not be tried in the UK over prosecutors' fears that a court could reject his extradition. British authorities believe the 60-year-old could challenge the request as a result of the risk of "double jeopardy" laws. Such legislation means that he will have already been convicted of similar offences overseas. MORE TO FOLLOW...
