UK police suspect Novichok death linked to attack on Skripals

UK police suspect Novichok death linked to attack on Skripals

British police believe a woman who died after being exposed to Novichok received a high dose of the nerve agent and must have handled its container.

Dawn Sturgess died on Sunday, just over a week after she fell ill in Amesbury in southern England.

Investigators suspect the deadly substance is linked to an attack in nearby Salisbury - where Novichok was used to poison a former Russian spy and his daughter in March.
