加拿大毒物贩子Kenneth Law在安大略省法庭接受为期四天的量刑听证会1。英国幸存者Elisabeth Belien等多名受害者家属出庭作证,讲述这名贩子如何通过在线自杀论坛向全球40个国家约1200人贩售有毒物质1。Law已对14项加拿大自杀援助罪认罪1,但作为与加拿大当局的认罪协议一部分,他不会因英国死亡而面临指控1。
据悉,Law贩售的有毒物质中约四分之一寄往英国,已知有近80人因此丧生1。Elisabeth Belien在2023年1月购买毒物时年仅23岁,后被医务人员成功给予解毒剂1。其他已知受害者包括Tom Parfett(2021年10月去世)、14岁的Henry Tucker(2021年10月去世)、Stephen Mitchell Jr(2023年3月25日去世)和Amara Scott(2022年2月9日去世,时年25岁)1。Law于2023年5月被捕,该调查涉及来自英国、意大利、美国等约12个国家的至少11个执法机构1。
Kenneth Law, a Canadian poison vendor, faced a four-day sentencing hearing in an Ontario court where multiple victims and their families testified about how he exploited vulnerable people through online suicide forums.1 Elisabeth Belien, a UK survivor who purchased the toxic substance at age 23 in January 2023, was among those who gave evidence; she was successfully treated with an antidote by medical personnel.1 Law has pleaded guilty to 14 Canadian counts related to assisting in suicide.1
The scope of Law's operation was extensive, with approximately 1,200 packages containing poisonous substances distributed across roughly 40 countries worldwide, with about a quarter directed to the United Kingdom.1 Nearly 80 deaths in the UK have been linked to Law's sales.1 Identified victims include Tom Parfett, who died in October 2021; Henry Tucker, aged 14, who died in October 2021; Stephen Mitchell Jr., who died on March 25, 2023; and Amara Scott, who died on February 9, 2022, at age 25.1 Law was arrested in May 2023 following an investigation involving at least 11 law enforcement agencies from approximately 12 countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, and the United States.1 As part of a plea agreement with Canadian authorities, Law will not face charges in the UK or be prosecuted for deaths occurring there.1
