The nerve agent that poisoned two people in Amesbury was contained in a perfume bottle, the brother of one of the victims has claimed.
Matthew Rowley said his brother Charlie, who remains seriously ill in Salisbury hospital, told him that he had picked up the perfume bottle, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The claim will raise the question of whether Dawn Sturgess, who died just over a week after being poisoned by the deadly nerve agent, sprayed the perfume on herself, effectively self-administering a lethal dose of Novichok.
Detectives are urgently working to establish how the perfume bottle came to be in the flat, and whether the Novichok it contains comes from the same batch used in the attack on former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia on March 4.

(6,881 posts)This is the first report that the Novichok was in a "perfume bottle". I had been assumed that the vial was from the lab where it was originally concocted and that the bottle itself would be a major forensic clue. Novichok does not seem like something you can safely transfer like pouring tea in a cup.
