GP admits attempted murder of mother’s partner with fake Covid jab

Thomas Kwan changes plea after court told how he disguised himself as nurse to poison Patrick O'Hara in Newcastle

A GP has admitted trying to kill his mother's long-term partner by disguising himself as a community nurse and poisoning him with a flesh-eating toxin disguised as a Covid jab.

Thomas Kwan, 53, injected his victim with the life-threatening chemical after what prosecutors described as one of the most elaborate criminal plots in recent memory." The Hong Kong-born doctor had wanted to kill Patrick O'Hara, 72, so he could inherit his mother's estate when she died, Newcastle crown court was told.
