UK police label Hong Kong-born doctor ‘despicable’ for murder attempt with toxin-laced jab

British police have described a Hong Kong-born doctor as “utterly despicable” after he was found guilty of disguising himself as a nurse and attempting to murder his mother’s partner by injecting him with a poison-laced fake vaccine.

Newcastle Crown Court earlier found Thomas Kwan, 53, guilty of attempting to murder Patrick O’Hara, after it heard the doctor had worn a disguise consisting of a fake beard and hairpiece before administering the injection at the couple’s home in northeast England.
