The Salisbury Poisonings: 4. The Inquiry begins

Marie Lennon and Andy Howard reflect on an extraordinary first day at the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry.

We hear that there was enough nerve agent hidden in a perfume bottle to kill thousands. Dawn is described as an “innocent victim, caught in the crossfire of an illegal and outrageous assassination attempt.”

As the finger is pointed at Putin, Dawn’s family call on the Russian president to give evidence and look them in the eye.

This episode was made by Marie Lennon, Andy Howard, Tom Ryan & Dan O’Brien.

Executive production by Mary Sanders and Naomi Wordley.
