An Ontario court begins a sentencing hearing for Kenneth Law, an Ontario man who sold lethal substances online and later faces punishment after people used them to take their own lives. Multiple outlets report the hearing is expected to take place over the coming days.
The coverage provides context around what led to sentencing. Global News outlines a timeline and says Law is set to be sentenced after pleading guilty in late May to 14 counts of aiding suicide involving 14 deaths in Ontario, including some victims who were minors. City News Toronto and Global also describe Law as a former chef from Mississauga.
Outlets also highlight what will happen during the hearing. City News Toronto and Global News say friends and relatives of people who died are expected to speak in court, presenting accounts of their losses. The Winnipeg Free Press report provided no additional details beyond the fact that the sentencing hearing begins, according to the information shared here.
