The lawyer representing the Sturgess family alleges that Russia has trained personnel from special units to apply Novichok. Adam Straw says that the Sturgess family invites Vladimir Putin to be called as a witness to the inquiry.
Never-before-seen CCTV footage of the Salisbury Novichok attack reveals the moment a former Russian spy innocently handed bread to a child after being poisoned with the deadly nerve agent.
An inquiry into the 44-year-old's death yesterday heard how Ms Sturgess was inadvertently caught 'in the crossfire of an illegal, outrageous international assassination attempt' which could have killed thousands more. Chillingly, CCTV evidence suggested the pair may have crossed paths with the Skripals near their home as they drove to the city centre for some food early in the afternoon of March 4.
She fell desperately ill after spraying the substance on her body and died in hospital, while Mr Rowley was seriously hurt. 'Is it possible that mistakes were made in protecting Sergei Skripal that might indirectly have contributed to Dawn Sturgess' death?'
