Was information ever released on whether or not Rowley and Sturgess knew the Skripals?
UK -Major incident declared - UK anti-terror police investigating possible nerve agent attack, 2018
- Thread starter CARIIS
- Start date
I was wondering the same, why it took so long to find it. I'm not sure of their method of testing these things or the time it takes but probably not as quick as finding a radioactive source where they can just wave a wand. They say the couple were always rummaging through things so maybe LE had quite a bit to go through. Wouldn't be surprised if they sat on the discovery info for a few days also.

Is it possible that Rowley lived in his relative's home that was huge and that's why it took 6 days to find the bottle? Are there huge homes in the area where he was living?

The picture shown earlier in the thread looked like a modern semi or terraced house. I think Rowley came too on Wednesday and told them what and where he thought it was. Then they found it, which was only 4 days after the event. MOO
Also, Dawn had just moved from John Baker so stuff may have been still packed.

I don't think it took six days to find a bottle in the house, but rather it took six days to determine it was the bottle that contained the poison.
Imagine searching an entire household looking for something - but you don't know what that "something" is - that is contaminated with poison. It takes time to gather possible items plus time to test all of the items. Plus, the works requires careful diligence so it is done slowly and methodically.
That time is required whether the victims were messy housekeepers or not, I would assume.

Interesting history on Porton Down. They had a program to figure out lethal dosages of nerve agents and tested sarin on a guy who died as a result.
"Government scientists had exposed him to deadly sarin to discover how his body would react."

From what has been reported, no evidence of any connection.
Sounds like he would go out dumpster diving. Presumably he found it while doing so? I wonder how much poison there was, if it was the whole bottle full of poison.
Police investigating Novichok poisoning seize four more vehicles in Swindon and Salisbury | Daily Mail Online
"Police investigating the Novichok poisonings are removing four more vehicles from Swindon and Salisbury, a day after finding a vial containing the nerve agent.
The vehicles are being moved from a police garage in Swindon and Salisbury Ambulance Station today as police step up their investigations.
Officers are trying to establish whether the poison which killed Dawn Sturgess, 44, and left partner Charlie Rowley critically ill, was from the same batch used to attack Sergei and Yulia Skripal in March.
Police said the public 'should not be alarmed' and told the public that the health risk remains low. "

Novichok: police take away 400 potentially contaminated items
"Police investigating the novichok poisoning of a couple in Wiltshire say more than 400 items have been recovered.
A significant number are said to be potentially contaminated and have been submitted to the government’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory for analysis.
Despite the recovery on Friday of a small bottle linked to the murder of Dawn Sturgess and the poisoning of Charlie Rowley, searches are expected to continue for several weeks, if not months, as officers try to identify potential sites and sources of contamination".

Murder? Surely that would require cold-blooded intent?
I am confuse
I'd like to know why Mr. Rowley had it in his house. And why he was able to tell them where to find it! Did he know what it was or only that he and his "girlfriend" touched it. Maybe they found it that day? And why would he have to dumpster dive if he owns a home? This is just stranger than strange.
Similar to low income housing in the US?
Are there multiple cars seized? Anybody knows if cars seized are similar looking cars? It was reported they took a bus when they went to the park. So what is the connection to nice looking car as shown in the photo?
