epa06875203 London Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Assistant Commissioner of Specialist Operations Neil Basu makes a statement to the press outside of the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service, in central London, Britain, 09 July 2018, regarding the recent Novichok poisoning in the Wiltshire area. The MPS reported on 09 July 2018 that Neil Basu said that we have now launched a murder investigation after learning that Dawn Sturgess died in hospital on 08 July 2018. 'Dawn aged 44 years old from Durrington, Wiltshire, leaves behind two grown-up sons; aged 19 and 23; an 11-year-old daughter; and her mother and father. Dawn aged 44, and a man, aged 45, who are both local to the area and are British nationals, were hospitalised on 30 June 2018, following their potential exposure to the nerve agent Novichok. A number of scenes, believed to be the areas the individuals frequented in the period before they fell ill, remain cordoned off in and around the Amesbury and Salisbury area as a precautionary measure. These include, Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury. A property at John Baker House, Rolleston Street, Salisbury. A property on Muggleton Road, Amesbury. Boots the Chemist, Stonehenge Walk, Amesbury. Amesbury Baptist Centre on Butterfield Drive, Amesbury. The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down confirmed to police that the man and woman had been exposed to the nerve agent Novichok. At present, British Counter Terrorism Policing Network, investigations are unable to say whether or not the nerve agent found in this incident is linked to the attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal. However, this remains our main line of enquiry. EPA/RICK FINDLER

Bočica koja je sadržavala nervni agens Novičok uzrok je trovanja dvoje ljudi u engleskom gradu Amesburyju, objavila je policija u petak.

Stručnjaci su potvrdili da je nervni agens bio prisutan u bočici pronađenoj u domu četrdesetpetogodišnjeg Charlieja Rowleyja u Amesburyju, koji je još uvijek u kritičnom stanju, navodi londonska policija koja vodi protuterorističku istragu.

“Nove znanstvene analize bit će provedene kako bi ustanovili jesu li agensi korišteni u Amesburyju iz iste serije kao agensi kojima su otrovani Sergej i Julija Skripalj u ožujku”, rekla je policija te dodala kako poveznica sa slučajem Skripalj ostaje “glavna vodilja policijske istrage”.

Rowley i njegova četrdesetčetverogodišnja djevojka Dawn Sturgees otrovani su 29. lipnja, a Sturgess je preminula 8. srpnja.
