Doctor Sentenced for Attempted Murder of Partner

News summary

Thomas Kwan, a 53-year-old doctor from Hong Kong, has been sentenced to 31 years and five months for attempting to murder his mother's partner, Patrick O'Hara, by injecting him with a poisonous substance disguised as a Covid-19 booster. Kwan, motivated by fears of losing his inheritance, set up a fake medical appointment and used a disguise to evade recognition while administering the injection, which led to O'Hara developing a severe flesh-eating disease. The court revealed Kwan's obsession with poisons, having researched various deadly substances and possessing guides on toxic chemicals. O'Hara spent weeks in the hospital and faced significant health complications due to the attack. Judge Christina Lambert described the act as an 'audacious plan' that undermined public confidence in the healthcare profession. Kwan's actions were underscored by a distorted sense of entitlement and financial obsession.
