Poison plot GP's wife: I'll wait for him.. I trust him

Jailed doc tried to kill mum's lover for inheritance

THE wife of poison plot GP Thomas Kwan is standing by him despite his 31-year sentence for attempted murder.

Kwan, 53, must wait more than 20 years before he can be considered for parole.

But his wife launched an extraordinary defence of her husband of 14 years, saying she will be waiting for him when he gets out.

The once-respected GP posed as a community nurse in a woolly hat, tinted glasses and surgical mask to jab his mum's partner with pesticide iodomethane.

But in her first interview about a crime which has shocked Britain, his wife told the Mirror: "I don't believe he intended to kill him." Patrick O'Hara, 72, still suffers post-traumatic stress disorder due to his ordeal.

Kwan travelled from his house in Ingleby Barwick, Teesside, to his mum Jenny Leung's home on January 22.

He injected Patrick with the poison after arranging an appointment for a Covid vaccine in advance using fake NHS letterheads.
