Skripal Poisoning with 'Novichok': New Details Emerge.
At the hearing on the death of Dawn Sturgess, new details emerged about the boy who had contact with Sergei Skripal on the day of the poisoning. CCTV footage showed Skripal interacting with the boy and giving him bread to feed ducks.
Later, the boy and two other people were sought, and it was found that he felt unwell after the meeting with Skripal.
The death of Dawn Sturgess is the main issue at the hearings. She died after the poisonous substance came into contact with her skin from a perfume bottle. Her partner, Charles Rowley, found the bottle with liquid and gave it to Sturgess.
After contact with the boy, Sturgess and Rowley became seriously ill and were hospitalized. Sturgess died on July 8, 2018.
The hearings seek to determine the connection between Sturgess's death and the attempted murder of Skripal and his daughter in March 2018.
Scientist Vil Mirzayanov, who was involved in the creation of the toxic substance 'Novichok', explained why Skripal and his daughter survived. He claims that a binary weapon variant was used for safe transport, where the bottle had one of the components for synthesizing 'Novichok'.
