Russian President Vladimir Putin was "morally responsible" for Dawn Sturgess' death from Novichok poisoning in 2018, an inquiry has concluded.

The mother-of-three's condition after she sprayed nerve agent, disguised as perfume, on her wrists had been "unsurvivable from a very early stage", the final report said.

Ms Sturgess was unknowingly given the poison in June 2018 by her partner Charlie Rowley, who had found it in a charity bin shortly after the attempted assassination of a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia in Salisbury, Wiltshire.

Russia, which has always denied involvement in the attacks, described the report's findings as "tasteless fairy tales".

Weeks of public evidence, as well as a series of closed hearings regarding secret intelligence, culminated in the report released earlier.
