During the inquiry into Dawn Sturgess's death, it was revealed that the Novichok nerve agent found in a perfume bottle could have killed thousands of people. This incident, linked to the separate poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal earlier in 2018, has raised serious questions about the implications of chemical weapons in public spaces. Authorities are grappling with the sheer volume of poison available, highlighting the need for stringent security measures to prevent such attacks.
The court was informed that the Novichok nerve agent, responsible for the fatal poisoning of Dawn Sturgess in Amesbury, had been left in a discarded perfume bottle. This horrifying detail underscores the chilling reality of chemical warfare's accessibility and the associated risks to innocent civilians. The implications of possessing enough poison to potentially kill thousands raise alarms about biosecurity and the global response to such threats.
