A woman who was exposed to the same deadly nerve agent used to poison former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter has died.
Dawn Sturgess, 44, fell ill along with Charlie Rowley, 45, on June 30 in the town of Amesbury, Wiltshire which is about a 20-minute drive from Salisbury, where the Skripals were poisoned. Despite being rushed to intensive care, Sturgess died on Sunday evening, and police have now launched a murder inquiry.
This is shocking and tragic news. Dawn leaves behind her family, including three children, and our thoughts and prayers are with them at this extremely difficult time, head of UK Counter-Terrorism policing Neil Basu said. This latest horrendous turn of events has only served to strengthen our resolve to identify and bring to justice the person or persons responsible for what I can only describe as an outrageous, reckless and barbaric act.
Police say that Rowley remains critically ill. Meanwhile, an officer thought to have been exposed to the nerve agent was given the all-clear on Saturday.
