GP Thomas Kwan Pleads Guilty to Noxious Injection

Dr. Thomas Kwan, a 53-year-old GP, disguised himself as a community nurse to poison his mother’s partner, Patrick O’Hara, with a lethal injection during a fake Covid booster jab on January 22. The prosecution alleges that Kwan's motive was to eliminate O'Hara, who posed an obstacle to Kwan inheriting his mother's estate, as he had no reason to harm him otherwise. Kwan allegedly spent months preparing for the act, collecting poisons and forging NHS documents to deceive O'Hara. After the injection, O’Hara suffered severe pain and required emergency surgery to save his life. Kwan has pleaded guilty to administering a noxious substance but denies the more serious charges of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. The case has been described as extraordinary, showcasing a meticulous and audacious plan to commit murder in plain sight.
