I'd need to re-read that whole scene.
It may have been quite a while before he "learned" about this; and it may only have been a "potential" method that "might" work, but I think he was pretty desperate, and would take even a long-shot chance.
But also: Raith Père was working with Outsider magic. So this may have been information fed to him by them, with dubious correctness.

I have to reread the scene as well. Actually the whole book because I imagine there are a lot of clues as to what is going on now in it.

Fixed it for ya!

Jim has been gleefully planting valid hints & easter-eggs alongside red-herrings falsities, and occasional retcon-fodder, from the very beginning. There are clues throughout the entire series.
Harry&co's recent discovery/hypothesis, that there's an actual angel inside each Sword of the Cross, is foreshadowed by there being a Fallen inside each Blackened Denarius; that's like... a 10-book(?) payoff from 1st-hint to Grand Reveal.

I think the idea that there is a Fallen Angel trapped inside each Blackened Denarius was pretty well established by the end of Death Masks, which is what? Book five?

A while ago I posted in another thread that Lord Raith did not know Harry and Thomas were brothers before Blood Rites.
So, it might be he knew about the curse, but was told that only killing Thomas would not be enough to end it. That might be why he delayed killing Thomas. Also, some of the things Lord Raith forced Thomas to do looked like he was trying to get Thomas killed in a way that he would not be blamed for.
