<\/p>\nA CANADIAN chef is being probed over 88 suspected poisoning deaths in the UK after he allegedly sold chemicals online.<\/p>\n
Kenneth Law, 57, from Toronto, is accused of selling 1,200 packages of lethal chemicals to suicidal people in 40 countries worldwide.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now the National Crime Agency (NCA), known as Britain's FBI, has said 232 people in the UK bought items from Law's websites – with 88 of them dying.<\/p>\n
In May Law was charged with two counts of counselling and aiding suicide by cops in the Canadian state of Ontario.<\/p>\n
He is now being investigated in Italy, Australia, New Zealand, the US and the UK.<\/p>\n
David Parfett's 22-year-old son Tom died in 2021 after allegedly taking poison which he had bought from Law.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The grieving dad told The Times: "\u00a0Now we know the horrific death toll, it is important for families to understand what has happened and why policing worldwide allowed this despite clear warning signs.<\/p>\n
"Even today, there are people who promote suicide to the young and vulnerable. <\/p>\n
"There are many other Kenneth Laws."<\/p>\n
Law told an undercover reporter from the paper over the phone that he had "hundreds" of UK customers – and that he was doing "God's work".<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n When confronted in person, he said: "I\u2019m just selling a product.<\/p>\n "Perhaps you may want to stop people buying knives and guns."<\/p>\n Another suspected victim of Law was Imogen Nunn, 25, from Brighton.<\/p>\n Imogen, a deaf TikTok star with 780,000, took her life on New Year's Day this year.<\/p>\n The NCA's Craig Turner said: "Our deepest sympathies are with the loved ones of those who have died. <\/p>\n "They are being supported by specially trained officers from police forces. <\/p>\n "In consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, the NCA has taken the decision to conduct an investigation into potential criminal offences committed in the UK. This operation is under way."<\/p>\n A spokesperson added: "At this early stage there are no confirmed links between the items purchased from the websites and cause of death in any of these cases."<\/p>\n Several of Law's suspected victims were university students in their early twenties.<\/p>\n Many of them are thought to have come across his website through an online suicide forum.<\/p>\n British cops have repeatedly probed Law since 2021 – but failed to realise that he was allegedly selling chemicals for death.<\/p>\n If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this article, contact The Samaritans on 116 123. <\/p>\n They are available for free at anytime.<\/p>\n Or email https:\/\/www.samaritans.org\/<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/lb-rotunda-comp.jpg\")
