A British doctor, Thomas Kwan, aged 53, received a prison sentence of more than 31 years for plotting to murder his mother's partner using a counterfeit COVID-19 vaccine. Kwan orchestrated the elaborate scheme by forging medical documents and disguising himself to administer poison.

The victim, Patrick O'Hara, survived but endured severe complications, including necrotising fasciitis, leading to multiple surgeries. This scheme raised public health concerns, exposing vulnerabilities in the healthcare system.

The prosecutor revealed that greed was the motive, as Kwan wanted to prevent changes in his mother's will that would favor O'Hara. Kwan's research into poisons was extensive, but despite his attempts, O'Hara survived the sinister plot.
