British doctor charged with attempted murder for poisoning plot

Summary

A British doctor, Thomas Kwan, has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly plotting to poison his mother’s partner, Patrick O’Hara, with a ricin-laced Covid vaccination. Kwan disguised himself as a nurse to carry out the attack, motivated by his fear of losing his inheritance from his mother’s will.

The case has drawn significant attention due to its bizarre nature and the defendant’s background as a respected medical professional. Kwan’s plan involved using his medical knowledge to concoct a lethal poison, and during the court proceedings, he admitted to intending to cause harm. O’Hara survived the attack but required extensive medical treatment for serious injuries. The prosecution described Kwan’s actions as premeditated and highlighted the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the case, which has been characterized as “stranger than fiction.” The sentencing for this case is expected to occur on October 17.
