Disgraced GP's son pleads guilty to attempted murder in poisoning case

Thomas Kwan, a disgraced GP, has pleaded guilty to attempted murder after injecting Patrick O'Hara with a flesh-eating disease, disguised as a community nurse. Kwan's actions were financially motivated, as he sought to benefit from his mother's will. O'Hara experienced severe pain and developed necrotising fasciitis, requiring intensive medical treatment. He has since suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and fears for his safety following the attack. Kwan's meticulous planning included using fake identification and researching methods to commit murder. He faces a potential sentence of up to 35 years, with sentencing scheduled for a later date.
