Dawn Sturgess’s family say lessons have not been learned from her novichok poisoning

Relatives say British state has failed to ensure public safety after inquiry into 2018 death, linked to Russian attack on ex-spy

The family of a British woman killed in the Wiltshire nerve agent poisonings have strongly criticised the UK state for not doing more to keep the public safe, and believe lessons have not been learned from her death.

Relatives of Dawn Sturgess, who was killed after she sprayed herself with a nerve agent smuggled into the UK by Russian agents to kill a former spy, expressed concern that an inquiry into her death had not set out how such a tragedy could be prevented in the future.
