A Canadian man accused of selling lethal products across 40 countries to hundreds of people who bought them to end their own lives pleaded guilty Friday to 14 counts of counseling or aiding suicide.
Kenneth Law, dressed in a dark blazer and white shirt, stood in the prisoner's box of a Newmarket, Ontario court to enter his guilty pleas.
Under the terms of the agreement, Canadian prosecutors will withdraw 14 murder charges against him. Sentencing is scheduled for September.
In the courtroom gallery, family members of the victims dabbed away tears as a prosecutor detailed the final moments of almost 100 people who died after using the lethal products purchased from Law.
Police in Canada and around the world have been investigating more than 100 suicides linked to Law.
The charges against him in the Canadian court are related to 14 people across Ontario, who were between the ages of 16 and 36.
