Englishwoman who died from Novichok took vial of poison for perfume

A man who was critically hurt after being exposed to nerve agent novichok has been discharged from hospital.

Rowley and his 44-year-old partner Dawn Sturgess were hospitalized from their home in Amesbury on 30 June over severe poisoning symptoms, and the woman died a week later.

The couple were contaminated in the town of Amesbury in southwestern England - near the city of Salisbury where Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with novichok in March.

The police found no evidence that Rowley and Sturgess ever talked with the ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia.

Sturgess passed away at Salisbury District Hospital on earlier this month.

She said: "Charlie has been through an appalling experience most of us could never imagine".

Scotland Yard said last night: "We have been talking to Mr Rowley in hospital and we will of course be talking to him now he has been discharged".

"This, in practice, means do not pick up containers, syringes, needles, cosmetics or similar objects, made of materials such as metal, plastic or glass", she said.

Lawmakers slam Trump for weighing Russian request to interrogate US diplomat
President Vladimir Putin on Thursday accused forces in the U.S. of trying to undermine the success of his first summit with U.S. John Brennan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency under Barack Obama, even said Trump's words constituted "treason".

As it turned out, while walking down the street Rowley and Sturgess found a bottle, which they thought was perfume.

"Investigators believe they have identified the suspected perpetrators of the Novichok attack through CCTV and have cross-checked this with records of people who entered the country around that time", a source close to the investigation told Britain's domestic Press Association news service.

Sturgess died on July 8, prompting police to open a murder investigation, while Rowley has regained consciousness and is in stable condition.

Police are believed to have identified the suspects behind the March attack.

Five hours after her collapse, police said, an ambulance was called back to the same address for Rowley, who also fell ill and was taken to the hospital.

It is understood she was exposed to at least 10 times the amount of nerve agent the Skripals came into contact with. Claiming that the substance used in the attack had been a Novichok-class nerve agent developed in the Soviet Union, London rushed to accuse Russian Federation of being involved in the incident.

The Metropolitan Police, who are leading the investigation, declined to comment.
