Police fear Wiltshire couple have been exposed to nerve agent Counter-terrorism police have joined the investigation into what happened to two people in Wiltshire who are in a critical condition, amid fears that they may have been exposed to a nerve agent. Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley, who were at a property in Amesbury, were initially believed to have overdosed on drugs, but their symptoms raised alarm among medics and Wiltshire police, which led them to suspect a possible nerve agent. The couple, both in their 40s, were in a critical condition at Salisbury district hospital, Wiltshire police said on Wednesday. Tests were being carried out on a substance at the nearby Porton Down government defence laboratory. Whitehall sources said that it was too early to tell whether the incident was related to illegal drugs or "something more sinister". The couple are understood to be British citizens who are unlikely to have been the victims of a targeted attack. ... Sam Hobson, 29, a friend of the couple, said he believed they had been struck down by a nerve agent. He described how on Saturday morning Sturgess fell ill and was taken to hospital and how later that morning Rowley also became sick. He said both were in hospital in isolation and he was receiving regular calls from the authorities to check he was well. "They thought it was drugs at first. They now think it's a nerve agent," he claimed.

.@theresa_may says this morning that the money she's just found for #NHS will come from the invisible, non-existent #BrexitDividend and from "vast sums of money" we won't pay to the #EU. My contribution to EU budget is about £1 a week. Am I the only one not being fooled by her? pic.twitter.com/YTAfm0y0b6— Laura C #FBPE (@smilinglaura) June 17, 2018
