Disguised doctor in England injects his mother’s partner with muscle-eating poison instead of covid vaccine

“Sometimes the truth may indeed be stranger than fiction,” prosecutor Peter Makepeaces began his opening speech at the court in Newcastle, where the fifty-three-year-old Kwan is confessing to attempted murder. “It was a bold plan. It was a plan to murder the man right in front of his own mother, the man’s life partner,” Makepeace described.

Successful Dr Kwan, with a practice in Sunderland, has been falsifying letters from the National Health Service (NHS) stating that 71-year-old O’Hara, from Newcastle, was a priority candidate for home vaccination against covid-19 due to his age since at least November last year. The senior then enthusiastically accepted the vaccination date this year, January 22, between nine in the morning and one in the afternoon, The Guardian newspaper recapitulates the events.

According to the prosecution, Kwan arrived in Newcastle in the early hours of the morning on the agreed day and checked into the Premier Inn hotel under a false name. The hotel’s security cameras then captured him leaving the building wearing a long coat, cap, blue surgical gloves and a medical mask over his face.

He subsequently added dark glasses to this disguise, so O’Hara not only did not recognize him, but he did not even ask her for any documents. Instead, he just called Kwan’s mother saying “the NHS gentleman has arrived”.

Kwan then had the senior fill out a questionnaire, measured his blood pressure and took blood and urine samples. His mother also asked him to measure her blood pressure, saying that she had stopped taking medication for him because of the rash. Even during the measurement, she did not notice that her own son was doing it.

When it came time for the vaccination, the injection caused O’Hara “excruciating pain,” according to the indictment, causing him to scream “Damn it!” But Kwan assured him the pain was not unusual. Only when the disguised doctor left, his mother should have at least noted that he was as tall as her son.

O’Hara later began to feel increasing pain and therefore arrived at the emergency room. The staff there thought the vaccine might just have been administered awkwardly, but by the next day O’Hara’s hand was blistered and discolored. His general practitioner therefore sent him back to the hospital.

Doctors there then recognized that he was suffering from life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis. The man then spent several weeks in the intensive care unit and specialists had to remove a large amount of muscle from his hand during repeated procedures.

The indictment uses the term “poison” for the submitted substance. It has not yet been clearly specified, but the investigators have selected substances. It could be, for example, iodomethane, an organic compound used as a pesticide.

Kwan admitted that he gave the man a harmful substance, but he denies the charges of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. According to Makepeace, Kwan will argue that he only intended to cause his victims “mild pain or discomfort”, while the prosecution alleges that he used “his encyclopedic knowledge and research on poisons” to attempt murder. When the police searched his property, they found various chemicals in the garage.

The trial continues, with the judge preliminarily setting aside ten days for it.
