Murder-bid doctor set to face medical tribunal

A POISON-plot GP who hatched an audacious plan to murder his mum's partner will be facing a medical tribunal 10 months after he was jailed.

Dr Thomas Kwan's murder bid was described as a case “stranger than fiction” in court as the GP concocted a plot to murder his mum’s partner, Patrick O'Hara, who he saw as an obstacle to receiving his inheritance should anything happen to her.

But the once-respected Sunderland GP’s plan unravelled as police uncovered CCTV, chemicals and fake documents. In November last year, the then52-year-old was sentenced to 31 years and five months behind bars after disguising himself as a nurse and poisoning his mother’s partner with a fake Covid jab at her Newcastle city-centre home.
