Supreme Court hears whether suspect may face murder charges in suicide case

The Supreme Court of Canada has heard arguments about whether murder charges may be laid against a criminal suspect who is also charged with assisting the suicide of the same victim. Thursday’s hearing sets the stage for a ruling that will have an impact on next year’s trial of Kenneth Law, a Mississauga man who is accused of selling a salt compound toxic in large doses to people who planned to use it to kill themselves.
