Dawn Sturgess, a mother of three, died after being given the discarded perfume bottle containing the nerve agent by her boyfriend, Charlie Rowley and unknowingly spraying it on her wrist
Former Prime Minister Theresa May has said that 'justice is unlikely' for the victims of the Salisbury poisonings, which led to the death of mother Dawn Sturgess.
The former prime minister told the BBC she hopes friends and family of Ms Sturgess 'will take some comfort' from the probe into her death, set to start on October 14. Both he and his then 33-year-old daughter Yulia were rushed to hospital in critical condition after coming into contact with Novichok - a deadly nerve agent concocted by Soviet scientists during the Cold War.
It is believed the Russian state ordered the attack on Skripal - who was jailed in Russia for spying in MI6 - on March 4 2018. It took almost exactly a year for Salisbury to finally be declared clear of all traces of the deadly nerve agent. Police say it could have killed thousands.
