An inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess has released new images of the mum-of-three just before she was poisoned with a nerve agent.
Dawn Sturgess, 44, died in hospital days after being exposed to Novichok which was left in a discarded perfume bottle in Amesbury, Wiltshire, in July 2018.It followed the attempted murder of former spy Sergei Skripal, his daughter Yulia and then police officer Nick Bailey, who were poisoned in nearby Salisbury in March that year.They were poisoned when members of a Russian military intelligence squad are believed to have smeared the nerve agent on Mr Skripal's door handle.
"She also added that Dawn was supposed to meet with her daughter the following day to spend time together."It was pure chance that Dawn had sprayed herself with the Novichok before her daughter arrived. "Dawn’s death was a tragedy to us all, but the fact that her daughter was not killed as well is a solace that we often revisit," she added. 'Never got to say goodbye'Dawn's daughter also said: "Me and my mum had a bond that I will never forget.
