EXCLUSIVE: Novichok victim Dawn Sturgess died after spraying nerve poison that smelled of ammonia from a perfume bottle onto both wrists, her boyfriend reveals

• Novichok victim Dawn Sturgess sprayed killer nerve gas from a perfume bottle
• Her partner Charlie Rowley, still critically ill, spoke to his brother in a phone call
• Charlie 'remembered that Dawn had sprayed the perfume on both her wrists'
• He also 'vaguely recollects there being an odd ammonia-type smell' from bottle'

Novichok victim Dawn Sturgess died after spraying perfume laced with the nerve agent onto both her wrists, her boyfriend, who was also exposed to the deadly substance, has revealed.

Charlie Rowley, who is in a critical but stable condition in hospital, made the admission to his brother during an emotional phone conversation yesterday evening. The couple collapsed a few hours apart on June 30 at Mr Rowley's flat, in Amesbury, Wiltshire.

They are believed to have stumbled upon the same batch of Novichok used to try to assassinate Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in nearby Salisbury in March.

Charlie, 45, is unable to remember where exactly he and his partner found the perfume bottle but it is understood to be near Salisbury city centre close to the spot the Skripals fell ill.

The government claims that the #Novichok poison was a "gel" smeared onto Sergei Skripal's "front door handle".

If the #Novichok was in the form of a gel, how could it be in a perfume bottle which are only designed to hold liquids?
