The Ontario man accused of sending poison to people who later killed themselves is now facing murder charges in those cases.

Kenneth Law has been charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder on top of the previous charges of counselling and aiding

suicide.

His lawyer says Law plans to plead not guilty to the new charges, which are connected to 14 alleged victims in Ontario between the ages of 16 and 36.

Police allege the Mississauga man ran several websites to sell sodium nitrite and other items that can be used for self-harm, shipping hundreds of packages across the globe.

British police say 88 of 232 people died after buying products from websites allegedly linked to Law.
