| − | [[Craig Murray]] commented:
| |
| − | :"The most dreadful thing about the [[Skripal Affair|whole saga]] is the death of poor Dawn Sturgess, and the most singular fact at present is that [[Ruslan Boshirov]] and [[Alexander Petrov]] are only wanted in relation to the “attack on the Skripals”. There is no allegation against them by [[Scotland Yard]] or the [[Crown Prosecution Service]] over the far more serious matter of the death of Sturgess. That is a fascinating fact, massively under-reported."<ref>''[[Document:Metropolitan Police on 'Chepiga' and 'Mishkin']]''</ref>
