Infamous “Poison Man” Tracked Down for Selling Lethal Suicide Kits Online
Authorities have arrested a man accused of running a chilling online operation that sold lethal “suicide kits” to vulnerable individuals around the world. Dubbed the “Poison Man” by investigators, the suspect is believed to be responsible for multiple deaths after shipping toxic substances disguised as harmless products.
The man, identified as 58-year-old Kenneth Law, was tracked down through an international law enforcement effort that spanned several countries. Law allegedly used the dark web and encrypted platforms to sell sodium nitrite, a chemical commonly used in meat preservation but deadly in high doses. The substance was marketed as a “peaceful exit” to people experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Law’s operation reportedly began during the pandemic and expanded rapidly as mental health issues surged worldwide. Authorities say he exploited desperation and masked his activities under the guise of a “freedom of choice” campaign, encouraging people to end their lives through detailed instructions and discreet packaging.
Investigators linked Law to over 100 deaths across the UK, Canada, the US, and Australia. Several victims were found with similar packaging, instruction leaflets, and chemicals purchased from Law’s network. Among the deceased were teenagers and young adults, sparking outrage and renewed calls for tighter online regulation.
A mother in Manchester, whose 19-year-old son died after ordering one of the lethal kits, called the arrest “bittersweet justice.”
“How can someone profit from death like this?” she asked. “He gave my son the means, the instructions, and told him it was painless. My child needed help, not a poison delivery.”
Law has been charged with multiple counts of aiding and abetting suicide, as well as criminal negligence causing death. Authorities are also investigating whether he violated international trafficking laws by shipping hazardous substances without proper permits.
In response to the case, the UK Home Office announced it would review existing laws surrounding the sale of dangerous chemicals online and push tech companies to better monitor digital platforms used for harmful purposes.
Mental health charities have condemned the ease with which such items are accessible and are urging more proactive intervention from internet providers and postal services.
“This is a heartbreaking reminder that vulnerable people can be targeted in their darkest moments,” said Sarah Whittaker, a spokesperson for the Samaritans. “We must do more to safeguard lives and ensure help is easier to find than harm.”
Kenneth Law remains in custody and is expected to face trial later this year. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
