A doctor who wore a disguise when he injected his mother's partner with poison in a dispute over an inheritance has admitted attempted murder.

Thomas Kwan, who lived in Ingleby Barwick, is due to be later this year.

His victim - 72 year old Patrick O'Hara was given a poison jab by his then partner's son - who dressed in disguise and posed as a nurse giving a Covid vaccine.

He was left with a flesh eating disease after the injection in January.

Peter Harris reports.
