Ross Cassidy, a former neighbor of Sergei Skripal, testified at the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry, revealing that Skripal feared reprisals from Russian President Vladimir Putin if he returned to Russia. Cassidy recounted how he befriended Skripal after his family moved to Salisbury in 2010 and often discussed Skripal's military background and past as a diplomat. According to Cassidy, Skripal explicitly mentioned that he could not go back to Russia due to fears that Putin would 'get him'. The inquiry is focused on the circumstances surrounding the death of Dawn Sturgess, who died after exposure to the nerve agent Novichok in July 2018, following the earlier poisoning of Skripal and his daughter in March of that year. Cassidy's insights into Skripal's concerns add depth to the ongoing investigation into both attacks and the adequacy of protections for Skripal. The inquiry seeks to determine if Sturgess's death could have been prevented and the effectiveness of MI5 and police oversight.
