Dr Thomas Kwan’s victim, Patrick O’Hara, said the vaccination caused intense pain, making it seem as though his arm was on fire.
A GP disguised himself as a nurse before trying to kill his mum's partner with a fake Covid jab, a court heard.
Kwan, who was obsessed with money and developed a deep knowledge of poisons, planned his murder bid for months by writing fake letters, supposedly from the NHS, offering Mr O’Hara a home visit in January this year. Kwan was well-paid as a GP and had made a £2 million offer on a house in the South of England, the court was told. He gave his mother a computer in 2020 but she was unaware that he had installed spyware on it so he could track her financial dealings.
Mr Makepeace said the alternative suggestion that Kwan’s motive was not financial but was actually to upset his mother by killing her innocent partner was “hideous”. Mrs Justice Lambert indicated that the sentencing guidelines point towards a jail term in the range of 25 to 35 years, and Mr Makepeace said aggravating factors push the case to the top end of that.
