A British doctor, Thomas Kwan, recently pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of his mother’s partner, Patrick O’Hara, by disguising himself as a nurse and injecting O’Hara with poison disguised as a Covid-19 vaccine. Kwan wore a wig, facial hair, and a medical mask to avoid being recognized by O’Hara or his mother during the fake medical appointment. In January in Newcastle, Kwan arranged for O’Hara to receive the fake vaccine, resulting in O’Hara becoming seriously unwell and developing a fatal flesh-eating bacterial infection called necrotizing fasciitis. O’Hara underwent skin grafts to repair the extensive damage caused by the poisoning. Kwan’s motive for the attempted murder is believed to be related to his mother’s will, which stated that O’Hara would inherit her home should she die.
Police discovered that Kwan had installed fake license plates on his vehicle before driving to O’Hara’s home to administer the poisonous injection. Kwan had files on his computer containing downloads of a “poisoner’s handbook” and other documents related to the use of poisons to kill a person. Prosecutor Peter Makepeace suggested that Kwan’s extensive knowledge of poisons was used to carry out his plan to harm O’Hara. Despite initially pleading not guilty, Kwan eventually admitted to the charge of attempted murder. He is facing charges of attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Kwan’s sentencing is set to take place at a later date, and he currently remains in custody.
The poisoning of O’Hara left him with life-changing injuries, and hospital staff deemed the letters presented by O’Hara regarding the injection as fake. O’Hara developed a severe skin condition around the injection area shortly after being injected with the poison disguised as a Covid-19 vaccine. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was admitted to the hospital where he underwent skin grafts to repair the extensive damage caused by the poisoning. The poisoning’s impact on O’Hara’s life has been significant, and the Crown Prosecution Service stated that the exact toxin used in the attempted murder has yet to be confirmed.
Detective Chief Inspector Jason Henry of Northumbria Police expressed hope that Kwan being brought to justice will assist O’Hara in moving forward with his life, despite the profound impact of the actions taken by Kwan. Kwan’s guilty plea to the attempted murder charge follows an overwhelming weight of evidence against him, leading to his admission of guilt. While nothing can undo the harm caused by Kwan’s actions, the acknowledgment of attempted murder provides some closure for the victim. Kwan’s knowledge of poisons and his methodical planning of the poisoning indicate a premeditated and calculated attempt to harm O’Hara. The sentencing of Kwan at a later date will determine the consequences he will face for his actions.
In summary, British doctor Thomas Kwan admitted to attempting to murder his mother’s partner, Patrick O’Hara, by administering a poisonous substance disguised as a Covid-19 vaccine. Kwan disguised himself as a nurse during the incident in Newcastle, wearing a wig, facial hair, and a medical mask to avoid being recognized. O’Hara suffered life-changing injuries as a result of the poisoning, which led to his hospitalization and skin graft procedures to repair the extensive damage. Kwan’s motive for the attempted murder is believed to be connected to his mother’s will, with O’Hara being set to inherit her home. Kwan’s guilty plea to the attempted murder charge follows extensive evidence against him, and his sentencing will take place at a later date.
