Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan – The investigation into an Ontario man facing 14 murder charges for allegedly selling poison and aiding multiple deaths has now extended to the province of Saskatchewan. Kenneth Law is accused of operating websites to sell sodium nitrite, a deadly substance at high levels, and sending over 1,200 packages to people in more than 40 countries.
Authorities in Saskatchewan have revealed that at least three communities in the province received packages from Law, and the Moose Jaw Police Service suspects a connection with one of its files related to the Peel Regional Police Service investigation.
In addition to Moose Jaw, Regina and Saskatoon police are also involved in the investigation. The Saskatoon Police Service has confirmed that packages were sold to residents in the city, and one person, believed to have received a kit, died. However, they do not expect any charges to be laid due to insufficient evidence.
Meanwhile, officials with the Regina Police Service have identified a potential victim in Regina, but a re-examination of a previous death investigation determined that it was not connected to Kenneth Law. Additionally, the Saskatchewan RCMP has stated that it is unaware of any current charges against Law within its jurisdiction.
Law was charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder in Ontario and is suspected of being connected to 117 deaths worldwide, with a majority of the deaths occurring in the U.K. Authorities in New Zealand, France, Ireland, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland have all confirmed that Law shipped packages to addresses in their respective countries.
Peel police have also issued a public warning to be vigilant about home deliveries from specific companies. The scope of Law’s alleged activities continues to unravel, and the investigation remains ongoing across multiple jurisdictions.
