GP admits disguising himself as nurse to kill mother’s lover with fake Covid jab

A GP has admitted plotting to kill his mother’s long-term partner by disguising himself as a community nurse and poisoning him with a fake Covid booster jab.

His victim, Patrick O’Hara, 72, was left with a rare flesh-eating disease as a result of the injection in his arm.

Thomas Kwan, 53, was on trial at Newcastle Crown Court and had initially denied attempted murder, but changed his plea after he heard the prosecution open the case against him.
