UK Doctor Admits to Attempted Murder of Mother's Partner with Poisoned "Vaccine"
In a shocking case, a British doctor has pleaded guilty to attempting to kill his mother's long-term partner by injecting him with a toxic substance disguised as a COVID-19 vaccine. Thomas Kwan, 53, a respected family doctor from Sunderland, admitted to the heinous crime at Newcastle Crown Court in northeast England.
Prosecutors revealed that Kwan, motivated by a desire to inherit his mother's estate, pretended to be a community nurse delivering booster shots and injected 72-year-old Patrick O'Hara with a poisonous substance, likely a pesticide. O'Hara developed a rare flesh-eating disease, necrotizing fasciitis, which left him in intensive care.
Kwan, who initially denied the charges, changed his plea to guilty after the prosecution presented its case. The court heard that Kwan used his extensive knowledge of poisons to orchestrate the attack, forging documents, using a vehicle with fake license plates, and disguising himself with protective clothing and a surgical mask.
Prosecutor Thomas Makepeace described Kwan's actions as a "cold, calculated, and premeditated" attempt to kill O'Hara, who was a "potential impediment" to Kwan's inheritance. Makepeace added that Kwan's victim, O'Hara, was deceived by the doctor's convincing disguise and fake vaccine ruse.
The incident occurred in January, when Kwan visited O'Hara's home, where he lived with Kwan's mother, Jenny Leung. The next day, O'Hara sought medical attention, complaining of pain and a blistered arm. He was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, and part of his arm was amputated to prevent the disease from spreading.
Kwan was identified through surveillance camera footage, and a search of his home revealed an array of dangerous chemicals, including arsenic, liquid mercury, and castor beans, which can be used to make the chemical weapon ricin. However, the exact substance used in the attack remains unknown, as Kwan has refused to disclose the information.
Christopher Atkinson of the Crown Prosecution Service condemned Kwan's actions, stating that his refusal to identify the poison had allowed O'Hara's health to further deteriorate. Kwan will be sentenced at a later date.
