| [Business Insider] British police say they have finally found the source of the deadly nerve agent that killed a woman and left her partner fighting for his life in Amesbury, England: A bottle. Earlier this month Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley were hospitalised after falling ill in Amesbury, and investigators determined they had been exposed to Novichok, a Russian-made poison. Sturgess, 44, died in hospital on Sunday, and police have opened a murder investigation. Rowley has since regained consciousness. The incident came months after the poisoning of former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, also with Novichok, prompting fears that Sturgess and Rowley had been exposed to some of the left-over poison. The Metropolitan Police found a "small bottle" at Rowley's house on Wednesday. Following tests, "scientists have now confirmed to us that the substance contained within the bottle is Novichok," it announced on Friday. |

| #8 Who are Rowley and Sturgess? Why would they have Novichok? How would they obtain It? Seems like those are questions the forensics people have to answer. |

| #7 Kinda dumb to pick up vials of whatever and bring them into one's residence. |

| #1 Seems kinda dumb to just leave it there to be found. Is it so dangerous that it was the correct thing to do rather than take it away? |
