Ms Sturgess, 44, a mother of three, died in July 2018 after being poisoned with the chemical weapon, which had been disguised as designer perfume.A large area of Salisbury city centre was put into lockdown following the chemical agent attack But, based on the quantity of Novichok discovered, said she believed the death toll "could have been so many more" and accused the Russians of "utter recklessness".Listen to Dan O'Brien's full interview with Baroness May and keep up to date with the latest from the inquiry with our podcast.
“I think we probably should have taken a stronger response to that at the time and given a clearer message to Russia," she said.More than six years after her death, that inquiry is due to begin hearing evidence on Monday 14 October.The first week of hearings will take place in Salisbury at the city’s Guildhall, before moving to the International Dispute Resolution Centre in London on Monday 28 October.
