Poison in Eimsbury: The police conducted the first interrogation of Rowley

Investigators of the counter-terrorist unit of the British police conducted the first interrogation of the 45-year-old resident Eimsbury Charlie Rowley, who suffered from the poisoning of the Russian poison "Novice" and under guard in the district hospital in Salisbury. It is reported by The Guardian.

Rowley, who spent 10 days in a coma, came into consciousness on Tuesday. However, the BBC transmitted, his condition was still critical. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the senior nurse of the hospital, Lorna Wilkinson, informed The Guardian that the victim had become much better during the night and his condition was no longer critical, but stable. Although Rowley has yet to have long treatment, Wilkinson noted, the forecast of doctors is favorable.

Nevertheless, the first interrogation, as can be concluded from a police officer, was unsuccessful for them. The patient, law enforcement officers told, is still too weak and cannot concentrate. On the main question that interests the investigators, where and when Rowley and his civil wife Don Styurzes could fall into his hands a container with a “newcomer” - there was no answer yet.

The police suggest a new interrogation in a few days, when the condition of the victim will improve and memory will return to him.

Meanwhile, the 44-year-old Steurzes, after poisoning, got to the same hospital in Salisbury, died on July 8 . Her death was the first case of death in Britain from the poisoning of the "newcomer". After the death of Rodzhess, the police began to investigate poisoning in Eimsbury as a murder.

On Monday, Britain Minister Gavin Williamson accused Russia of death . “The situation is that Russia made an attack on the land of Britain, as a result of which the British citizen died,” the minister said. “I think that the whole world will condemn this with us.”

Earlier, it was suggested that Styurzes and Rowley were poisoned by the remnants of the same "newcomer" who was used in March in the attempt on the former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia Skripal. However, as of July 9, the police could neither confirm nor refute this hypothesis.
