A doctor who cared for poisoned Yulia Skripal tells an inquiry about her arrival at hospital.
The first doctor to care for the poisoned daughter of a Russian spy thought he would never see her move again, an inquiry has heard.
Dr Cockroft was speaking at an inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess, 44, from Wiltshire, who died from Novichock poisoning four months after the incident involving the Skripals. Dr Cockroft also told the inquiry that he was told by a police officer to Google his patient's background. Dr Cockroft said police had attended the ward in the early hours of 5 March, where it was agreed they were unlikely to be suffering from radiation poisoning and discussed a possible homicide or suicide attempt.
Dr Haslam told the inquiry on Wednesday that the Skripals' symptoms were "too extreme" for "a normal presentation for recreational drug overdoses".
