Nadia Kajouji jumped into Ottawa's Rideau River following her disappearance in March 2008.
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota man has been charged with aiding the suicides of two people by encouraging them to kill themselves in Internet chats.
William Melchert-Dinkel of Faribault (FAIR-'boh) was charged Friday in Rice County, Minn., under a rarely used state law that carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
He's been charged with two counts in the suicides of a Canadian woman and a British man. Mark Drybrough, of Coventry, England, hanged himself in 2005, and 18-year-old Nadia Kajouji (kuh-JOOJ-ee) of Brampton, Ontario, drowned in Ottawa in 2008.
Melchert-Dinkel had been a nurse but was stripped of his license last year. His first court appearance is scheduled for May 25.
A message left at Melchert-Dinkel's home Friday wasn't immediately returned.
