Dawn Sturgess inquiry to resume today in London
They've moved to the International Dispute Resolution Centre
Last updated 28th Oct 2024
The public inquiry into the death of a Durrington woman from Novichok poisoning in 2018 resumes today in London.
Dawn Sturgess died after applying the nerve agent to herself after it was hidden in a perfume bottle in Amesbury.
Her family say it was a miracle only one life was lost on that fateful day in June.
She was wrongly treated for a drug overdose, after being described as a 'known drug user' by Wiltshire Police. The Force has apologised and is seeking to learn as many lessons as it can during the inquiry.
This week the hearings into her death will be given evidence about the attack on former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in March 2018.
They'll hear from Ross Cassidy - a friend of Mr Skripal - as well as Wiltshire Police Constable Alex Collins, who attended when the pair fell ill in the Maltings.
Evidence will also be heard about Nurse Allison McCourt who found the father and daughter falling ill in The Maltings.
The first week of the hearings were held in Salisbury earlier this month - but are expected to stay in London until their conclusion in December.
