Poison Sunderland GP changes plea to admit ******* attempt

A doctor has admitted attempting to ******* his mother’s partner with poison in a dispute over a will.

Thomas Kwan, 53, had previously denied the offence against Patrick O’Hara, who was given a toxin which caused a “rare and life-threatening flesh-eating ********,” Newcastle Crown Court heard.

to disguise himself and prepare the ******* at the victim’s Newcastle home on 22 January.

Kwan, who lived in Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, and worked in Sunderland, is due to be sentenced at a later date with Judge Mrs Justice Lambert saying he can expect a “substantial” prison term.

Kwan had admitted administering a noxious substance to Mr O’Hara, 71, but initially claimed he only wanted to cause “pain and discomfort”, the trial had heard.

But after prosecutors opened the case on 3 October, Kwan changed his plea to the more serious charge on Monday with jurors asked to formally return a guilty verdict.
