A resident of Eimsbury, 44-year-old Don Styurzes, poisoned by the novice poison, died in the hospital. As reported on the Skotland-Yard website, this happened last Sunday.
This is the first case with a fatal outcome in a series of poisoning of Russian -made poison. London’s police are investigating the death of Styurzes as a murder, reports Sky News.
The 45-year-old civilian husband of Sterles Charlie Rowley remains in critical condition in the Salisbury District Hospital, where ex-colonel GRU Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia were previously treated.
British Prime Minister Teresa May is "shocked" by the death of Steurzes. The head of the British Ministry of Internal Affairs Sajid Javid said that "it was determined to attract killers to justice."
Nakanu Javid said that London will not yet impose sanctions against Moscow in connection with the new poisoning of the Novice. The minister explained that the British authorities still do not have enough data on the circumstances of the incident. Javid emphasized that the fact of the use of the “newcomer” against the spouses - the poison, which were poisoned by the Skripals - was installed reliably.
On July 5, Javid, speaking in the British parliament, demanded an explanation for Russia in connection with new poisoning. "Russia has come to explain what exactly happened," the minister said.
“The situation when our citizens become at least in advance, at least random victims, and our streets, parks and cities turn into landfills of toxic substances, completely unacceptable,” the official emphasized.
Steurzes, and then Rowley, both unemployed, were hospitalized from their home in Aimsbury on June 30 with an interval of several hours. Initially, the doctors suspected that the couple were poisoned by a kind of severe drug. Soon, however, it was established that the cause of their disease was a neuro-paralytic poison. On July 4, experts of a military laboratory in Porton Dawn found out that the spouses were poisoned by the "newcomer" .
According to Scotland Yard, most likely Sturesses and Rowley were poisoned, touching their hands to the subject, on which the "Novice" was applied. At the same time, there is no evidence yet that these were the remnants of the poison intended for the Skripals or that the spouses visited any of the places that, after the assassination of the former GRU agent, were subjected to chemical decontamination.
