New Details Emerge in Salisbury Poisoning Inquiry

A public inquiry reveals the involvement of bystanders and the timeline of events surrounding the Skripal Novichok attack.

  • An army nurse, Alison McCourt, provided first aid to the Skripals after they were found poisoned, dismissing Russian claims of her involvement as false.
  • CCTV footage showed Sergei Skripal handing bread to a boy to feed ducks shortly before he and his daughter collapsed from Novichok poisoning.
  • The inquiry is investigating the death of Dawn Sturgess, who died after inadvertently coming into contact with the nerve agent months after the Skripal attack.
  • Authorities traced the boy and his friends who fell ill after the encounter, but no traces of Novichok were found in their systems.
  • The inquiry is examining evidence to determine the timeline of contamination, with suspicions of Russian state involvement in the attack.
