Thomas Kwan, a 53-year-old GP, has been sentenced to 31 years and five months in prison by Newcastle Crown Court for the attempted murder of his mother's partner. Kwan, who was born in Hong Kong, disguised himself as a community nurse and administered a fake COVID-19 vaccine to his victim in Newcastle. The court heard that the relationship between Kwan and his mother was 'strained and difficult.' The incident, described as an 'audacious' murder plot involving a poison jab, highlights the lengths Kwan went to in order to carry out his plan.
