Theresa May Skeptical on Salisbury Poisoning Justice

News summary

Former Prime Minister Theresa May has expressed skepticism about achieving justice for the victims of the 2018 Salisbury Novichok poisonings, including Dawn Sturgess, who died after being exposed to the nerve agent, and Sergei Skripal, who was the initial target. May hopes the independent inquiry starting on October 14 will provide some comfort to Sturgess's family by uncovering the truth, despite the limited scope of the investigation. The attack, allegedly orchestrated by Russian agents, has led to international arrest warrants for the suspects, but Russia's constitution prevents their extradition. The incident also critically affected Skripal's daughter, Yulia, and police officer Nick Bailey, who have since recovered. May criticized Russian agents for their 'utter recklessness' and doubted that the affected families will ever receive closure without a trial. The inquiry seeks to explore the events leading to Sturgess's death while grappling with the improbability of prosecuting the accused individuals.
