UK to report on woman's death after 2018 Novichok poisoning of ex-Russian spy

The inquiry links Dawn Sturgess's death to the 2018 Skripal Novichok poisoning and highlights charges against three Russian GRU officers over the attack.

  • Dawn Sturgess, 44, died from Novichok poisoning in Salisbury Hospital on 8 July 2018 after spraying herself with a perfume bottle containing the nerve agent.
  • The inquiry heard there was enough Novichok to "kill thousands" in the perfume bottle found by her partner Charlie Rowley in a charity bin.
  • Two Russian nationals, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, are suspected of bringing the Novichok nerve agent into the UK and applying it to Sergei Skripal's home in March 2018.
