Doctor tried to kill his mother’s companion with a supposedly tincture for covid.
A British doctor today pleaded guilty to a daring but failed plot to murder his mother’s companion by administering him a fake vaccine for Covid-19, forging medical documents and disguised as a nurse to administer poison to his victim. Thomas Kwan, 53, disguised as a nurse, even measured his mother’s blood pressure before giving poison to her partner Patrick O’Hara in Newcastle, northern England.
O’Hara survived, but his poison caused necrotic denervitis – a potentially fatal bacterial carnivorous infection, after receiving the injection, prosecutors said.
Quan, a family doctor in Sunderland, today pleaded guilty to attempted homicide, shortly after his trial opened last week at the Newcastle Crown Court, according to court staff. He had already pleaded guilty to the charge of administration of a harmful substance. Sometimes reality transcends imagination” Prosecutor Peter Macpis told the jury on the first day of the trial last Thursday: “Sometimes, sometimes, reality transcends imagination”. Macpis stated that Quan was concerned about his mother’s will, according to which her home would be inherited by O’Hara if he were still alive after her death. Mr. Quan used his encyclopedic knowledge and research into poisons to carry out his plan,” Macpies stressed.
” This plan was to disguise himself as a visiting nurse, go to the address of Mr. O’Hara, at the home where he lived with the defendant’s mother and inject him with a dangerous poison on the pretext of granting a booster dose for Covid.” The 53-year-old doctor checked in on a hotel using a fake name, put fake plates on his car and disguised himself wearing a wig to carry out the plan, the prosecutor added.
