A British doctor has admitted trying to kill his mother’s long-term partner by injecting him with poison disguised as a COVID-19 vaccine. Prosecutors say Thomas Kwan pretended to be a community nurse and injected Patrick O’Hara with a toxic substance, likely a pesticide. O’Hara developed a rare flesh-eating disease that left him in intensive care.
LONDON — A British doctor on Monday admitted trying to kill his mother’s long-term partner, who stood between him and an inheritance, by injecting the man with poison disguised as a COVID-19 vaccine.
Kwan, 53, initially denied attempted murder but changed his plea to guilty after prosecutors laid out their case at Newcastle Crown Court in northeast England. Makepeace said Kwan forged documentation, used a vehicle with fake license plates and disguised himself with head-to-toe protective clothing, tinted glasses and a surgical mask to visit the home in Newcastle that O’Hara shared with Kwan’s mother, Jenny Leung, in January.The next day, in pain and with a blistered arm, O’Hara went to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. Part of his arm was cut away to stop it spreading, and O’Hara spent several weeks in intensive care.
