Novichok poisoning:1st victim dies,2nd victim has days to live;cops seize car

Counter terror police investigating the novichok murder of a mother of three, have said they can cannot offer public safety guarantees, as it was revealed the second victim could have just days to live.

Dawn Sturgess died on Sunday evening, nine days after receiving a large dose of the deadly nerve agent, when she picked up a container that had likely been used in the assassination attempt on Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in March.

Her mother said the 44-year-old, who had alcohol and addiction problems, had suffered heart failure after more than a week in intensive care.

Her boyfriend, Charlie Rowley, 45, is currently on life support in Salisbury District Hospital, but is not expected to make a full recovery.

It comes as detectives leading the hunt tonight revealed a car has been removed from an address 30 miles away in Swindon in relation to the ongoing probe.

After spending the afternoon of Friday 29 June shopping and relaxing in Salisbury, Ms Sturgess and Mr Rowley visited her home in John Baker House, before travelling by bus back to his flat eight miles away in Amesbury.

A police spokesman said the bus had been seized by Wiltshire Police and examined at the government's defence laboratory at Porton Down before being given the all clear.

On Saturday 30 June, after Ms Sturgess was taken ill, Mr Rowley travelled in a red Ford Transit van with three other people.

Detectives are desperately trying to locate the source of the contamination - which is believed to be a glass container or syringe - which had lain undetected in Salisbury since the Skripal poisoning in March.

Speaking outside Scotland Yard, Assistant Commissioner Specialist Operations Neil Basu said: "In the four months since the Skripals and [Detective Sergeant] Nick Bailey were poisoned, no other people besides Dawn and Charlie have presented with symptoms.

"Their reaction was so severe, it resulted in Dawn’s death and Charlie being critically ill. This means that they must have got a high dose and our hypothesis is that they must have handled a container we are now seeking."

Putin and his incompetent assassins.

They kill the wrong targets and the stooge assassins toss the poison on the ground where children could pick it up.

This is as incompetent as the apartment bombing where the Putins men got caught trying to blow up a Russian apartment building,

The man is pure evil…and this is the man Trump admires.

Britain needs to nail Russia to the wall over this shit, but they won't because their balls went missing decades ago.

...

i think the real question we should be asking is:
who cares!?!

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS STORY:

nerve agents do NOT require 'syringes full', or 'glass containers' worth. Just a tiny drop will kill 10 people easily…

Why are they saying 'a glass container or a syringe' ? Nobody would ever confuse the two.

Who looks at a glass container and says, " oh look, it's a syringe!"

Who looks at a syringe and says, "look at the glass container!"

How did they get this information? Whoever saw or touched the container would certainly remember what they did with it…

And who says it's Russian in the first place? PROVE IT.

thats like saying finding thermite proves it's from America's military, when anybody can make thermite.

And finally, I'm going to end at the beginning again: NERVE AGENT DOES NOT REQUIRE LARGE AMOUNTS LIKE WHAT COULD BE STORED IN A SYRINGE OR GLASS CONTAINER… that's not the way it's delivered. That would be contraindicated.

Of course comrade, the Soyuz is blameless in this filthy capitalist plot to make the motherland appear vile and unscrupulous!

It's a nerve agent that's unique to the cold-war era soviet union, and it's on the heels of an attempt to kill an ex-russian-spy. They probably have no reason to suppose it's a glass container unless they got that information from the victims before they went into crit, but none of that changes that this is perfectly in line with Putin's behaviors (remember a certain incident involving polonium?).

Fuck off Ivan
