Sunderland GP Thomas Kwan Attempts to Kill His Mother’s Partner with Poisonous Fake COVID Jab During Deceptive Scheme in Newcastle

In a shocking case that sounds like something straight out of a thriller, a general practitioner disguised himself as a nurse in an attempt to poison his mother’s partner, all for the sake of inheritance.

During a court hearing, it was revealed that Thomas Kwan, 53, concocted a sinister plan to inject Patrick O’Hara, his mother’s partner, with a fake COVID booster jab that was laced with poison.

This chilling act was fueled by his belief that O’Hara was an obstacle to his inheritance.

The Disguise and Deception

CCTV footage captured Kwan arriving at a Premier Inn in Newcastle on January 22, dressed in a hat, tinted glasses, gloves, and a mask.

After checking in, he made his way across the city to his mother’s home, where he planned to administer the deadly injection to O’Hara.

Following the incident, O’Hara, 71, fell gravely ill but fortunately survived after emergency surgery.

Kwan has pleaded guilty to administering a noxious substance, but he denies attempted murder and an alternative charge of grievous bodily harm with intent.

A Disturbing Discovery

Authorities discovered that Kwan had been hoarding ingredients to produce deadly toxins like ricin in his home.

They also found a selfie of him in disguise, sporting a wig, fake beard, and mustache, alongside a forged ID badge under the name “Raj Patel.”

Prosecutor Peter Makepeace KC highlighted that this ID was likely prepared to deceive O’Hara if he asked for identification during the sinister encounter.

Makepeace expressed the oddity of the situation, stating, “Sometimes, occasionally perhaps, the truth really is stranger than fiction.”

A Family Rift

The motive behind Kwan’s actions stemmed from a strained relationship with his mother, Wai King.

After learning that she intended to leave her property to O’Hara, with the stipulation that it wouldn’t go to Kwan’s children until after O’Hara’s death, Kwan felt compelled to take drastic measures.

Tensions escalated in November 2022 when Kwan confronted O’Hara about the will, leading to a police warning for Kwan.

The Planning and Execution

Despite being a respected GP at a surgery in Sunderland, Kwan meticulously planned the attempted murder.

He allegedly scouted hotels in Newcastle as potential bases for his plan, even taking his family to the Premier Inn a week before the attack to ensure it was suitable.

Using a temporary mobile phone, he texted O’Hara to confirm an appointment, which was part of the elaborate setup.

On the fateful day, Kwan drove from his home in Ingleby Barwick to Newcastle, checking into the hotel.

Surveillance footage shows him calmly heading to breakfast before transforming into his disguise.

Two hours later, dressed in a long coat and flat cap, he emerged from the hotel, ready to carry out his plan.

The Disturbing Encounter

Kwan arrived at his mother’s home around 10 am, introducing himself as the nurse who was expected.

He conducted routine checks, taking blood and urine samples from O’Hara.

In a moment of chilling deceit, Kwan even took his mother’s blood pressure without her recognizing him behind the mask.

He reassured O’Hara about the necessity of the COVID booster, even when the older man expressed concern about having received his last booster just three months earlier.

As O’Hara averted his eyes during the injection, he felt an immediate and excruciating pain, prompting him to shout out in shock.

Kwan, however, downplayed the reaction, insisting it was a common side effect.

Yet, as he hastily packed his equipment and left, O’Hara’s condition rapidly deteriorated, leading to a harrowing emergency surgery to save his life.

The Trial Continues

The courtroom drama continues as the trial unfolds, revealing more about this bizarre and horrifying case.

How could a respected doctor resort to such a horrific act against someone who had not wronged him?

As details emerge, the shocking nature of Kwan’s actions leaves many questioning the motives and the depths of his deception.
