Thomas Kwan allegedly disguised himself as a nurse to administer a fake COVID booster to Patrick O'Hara, aiming to secure his inheritance.

  • Thomas Kwan, a GP, is on trial for allegedly attempting to murder his mother's partner, Patrick O'Hara, with a poisonous injection.
  • The prosecution claims Kwan disguised himself as a community nurse and used a fake NHS letter to gain access to O'Hara.
  • Kwan's alleged motive was to remove O'Hara as an obstacle to inheriting his mother's estate, as O'Hara was named in her will.
  • O'Hara suffered from necrotising fasciitis, a life-threatening disease, after receiving the injection and spent weeks in intensive care.
  • Kwan has admitted to administering a noxious substance but denies charges of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm with intent.
