Perfume bottle with nerve agent that left woman dead contained enough poison to kill thousands
'The evidence will suggest that this bottle must earlier have been left somewhere in a public place creating the obvious risk that someone would find it and take it home'
(AP) — The lead counsel for a public inquiry into the 2018 death of a British woman poisoned by a Soviet-developed nerve agent said Monday that there was enough poison in the vial she unwittingly opened to kill thousands of people.
Dawn Sturgess and her partner collapsed after they came into contact with a discarded perfume bottle containing the nerve agent Novichok in the southwest England town of Amesbury.
She had sprayed the contents of the bottle on her wrist and died days later. Her partner survived.
