Thomas Kwan tried to murder Patrick O’Hara with fake jab while dressed as nurse in attempt to protect his inheritance
Thomas Kwan, who changed his plea and admitted trying to kill Patrick O'Hara, was motivated by ‘greed bred, purely and simply, of greed’, the prosecution said.Thomas Kwan, who changed his plea and admitted trying to kill Patrick O'Hara, was motivated by ‘greed bred, purely and simply, of greed’, the prosecution said.A “money obsessed” GP who poisoned his mother’s partner while disguised as a nurse administering a fake Covid booster jab has been jailed for 31 years and five months.
The court heard Kwan was obsessed by money and motivated by “a sense of entitlement” to his mother’s estate. He attempted to murder O’Hara, his mother’s partner of 20 years, because he saw him as a “potential impediment” to his inheritance. “It was an audacious plan,” Makepeace told the jury. “It was a plan to murder a man in plain sight, to murder a man right in front of his own mother’s eyes, that man’s life partner.”
O’Hara has suffered extreme PTSD as a result of the crime, the court heard, and is no longer in a relationship with Kwan’s mother, Jenny Leung. But the “nurse” reassured O’Hara that such a reaction was common. When he did go to hospital medics assumed the problem was a botched Covid injection, the court heard.
