  1. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dawn-sturgess-killed-nerve-agent-novichok-inquiry/) reduced by 87%. (I’m a bot)
    *****
    > Her death followed a failed poison attack against former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal in Salisbury, southwest England.

    > "When Ms. Sturgess was poisoned by Novichok four months after the Skripal poisoning, the real possibility emerged that she had been caught – an innocent victim – in the crossfire of an illegal and outrageous international assassination attempt," he added.

    > U.K. authorities believe that agents targeting the Skripals threw the perfume bottle away, making the two cases "Inextricably interwoven.”

  2. ~~so she grabbed a perfume bottle out of the trash and used it?~~

    ~~dang man, common sense, come on now~~

    edit: her boyfriend found an unsealed perfume box in the trash and gave it to her

    she stood no chance, boyfriend lacked common sense, very sad

    edit2: because some people dont see how grabbing and using something from the trash could be lack of common sense

    literally anything could be thrown away for any reason, a perfume bottle could have been pissed in/on, a sealed container could have been shit in and resealed, some rat poison could have accidentally touched anything in the trash, some insect carrying some disease could have pooped on it. you literally never know.

    common sense would be regarding anything in the trash as toxic, can’t believe i have to explain that.

  3. I’m saving up for a trip to Salisbury to see the, uhhh, cathedral, that’s it. Dream of a lifetime.

    She was killed by Russian state operatives. A completely innocent woman was murdered by putin’s killers through their complete disregard for life. This needs to be stopped. Provide Ukraine all the weapons and allow then to strike any valid target in russia. Route out putin and his enablers.
