Novichock 鈥榩erfume鈥 kills man鈥檚 partner
Print Edition
A MAN who survived exposure to the deadly nerve agent Novichok has described how his partner sprayed it on her wrists thinking it was perfume, and collapsed minutes later.
Charlie Rowley told ITV News Tuesday night that he may have had the bottle in his home for several days before giving it to his partner Dawn Sturgess.
She became ill within 15 minutes and died eight days later. Rowley was also exposed but survived after hospitalization.
鈥淚 do have a memory of her spraying it on her wrists and rubbing them together,鈥 he said, adding the substance was oily and did not smell like perfume.
鈥淲ithin 15 minutes Dawn said she had a headache. She asked me if I had any headache tablets. She said she felt peculiar and needed to lie down. I went into the bathroom and found her in the bath, fully clothed, in a very ill state,鈥 Rowley said.
Police believe the Novichok was from the same batch used in the March attack on ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. Both were hospitalized for weeks but were released and are recovering in a secret location.
British officials blame the attack on Russian. The Kremlin has denied involvement.
