‘Sickening’: More victims linked to man ‘doing God’s work’ distributing suicide kits

Kenneth Law, an Ontario, Canada, man who was arrested for selling over 1,200 suicide kits online, has now been implicated in at least four New Zealand deaths, further widening the global scale of his crimes.

Last year, the Times of London revealed the findings of an investigation they had been conducting into Law, and found that he was linked to seven deaths. At the time of their investigation, which took place in April, he spoke openly to an undercover investigator about the number of people he sold suicide kits to, saying, “It will be literally in the hundreds. And they’ve all received it. We have had many, many customers in the UK who have purchased it.”

A New Zealand coroner has now linked four more deaths to Law, confirming his earlier statements that he had victims all over the world. He was also found to have sold nine kits to people in Italy, causing at least one death. Of the four deaths in New Zealand, three were between the ages of 18 and 21, along with a 40-year-old personal trainer. Yet authorities in New Zealand have still not ensured that Law’s websites are blocked — a process which they say is ongoing.
