A public inquiry has commenced in the UK regarding the death of Dawn Sturgess, who fell victim to the Soviet-developed nerve agent Novichok in a suspected murder plot related to international espionage. Evidence presented during the inquiry revealed that the vial containing the nerve agent had the potential to kill thousands of people, highlighting the severity of the incident. Testimonies indicated that Sturgess was unknowingly caught in a dangerous conspiracy targeting a double agent. Calls for Russian President Vladimir Putin to provide evidence have surfaced, amidst claims that he personally authorized the attack. As the investigation unfolds, questions about the effectiveness of the police response have also been raised, noting that they had to rely on publicly available resources for information on the clean-up efforts following the attack. Family members of Sturgess expressed their disbelief at her being collateral damage in global spy conflicts.
