LONDON (Reuters) - Britain said on Thursday it would hold a public inquiry into the death of a woman who was killed by the Novichok nerve agent following the attempted murder of a former Russian double agent.

Dawn Sturgess died from Novichok poisoning after her partner found a counterfeit perfume bottle which police believe had been used by Russian intelligence operatives to smuggle the nerve agent into the country.
