Kenneth Law expected to plead guilty to Canadian charges of aiding suicides
A Canadian man accused of selling lethal substances online to people who took them to end their own lives is expected to plead 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.
