Poison seller tied to suicide forum tracked down by BBC

A Ukrainian man selling a poison thought to be linked to at least 130 UK deaths has been identified by the BBC.

Leonid Zakutenko advertised his services on a website promoting suicide and he told an undercover reporter he sent five parcels a week to the UK.

He has been supplying the same substance as Canadian Kenneth Law, who was arrested last year and is now facing 14 murder charges.

Mr Zakutenko denied the claims when challenged by the BBC.

He was tracked down to his home in Kyiv and denied that he sold the deadly chemical, which the BBC is choosing not to name.

However, our investigation found that he has been supplying the substance for years.

The chemical can legally be sold in the UK, but only to companies using it for a legitimate purpose.

Suppliers must not sell to customers unless they have carried out basic checks on what the substance is to be used for. It can prove fatal if ingested in even small doses.

Its Ukraine, after all.

Was Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz, Cofer Black or any former CIA Directors on the board of this guy’s company?

“The chemical can legally be sold in the UK, but only to companies using it for a legitimate purpose.”

Now you need a company, license and payment to the government just to cure meat...

So sick of tyranny imposed on the majority because of a few idiots...
