Story summary
  • A judge will consider the 79 British deaths linked to Kenneth Law when sentencing him.
  • Law pleaded guilty to 14 counts of aiding suicide after murder charges were withdrawn, having sold a toxic chemical online that shipped roughly 1,200 packages to 41 countries and tied him to at least 150 deaths worldwide.
  • British victims' families have urged a public inquiry, saying the lack of UK charges sends the wrong message.
