Kenneth Law, 60, appeared in court in Ontario, Canada, on Friday where he formally entered his guilty pleas to a total of 14 counts, all relating to Canadian victims.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said 79 UK victims who died as a direct result of purchasing Law’s products will form part of the wider case into his offending.

Authorities told the victims’ families that Law would not face criminal proceedings in the UK because of the potential for the hotel cook to challenge the extradition after being convicted of similar offences in Canada.
