Surviving Victim Of Amesbury Poisoning Incident Hospitalized Again - Relative

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st August, 2018) Surviving victim of a nerve agent poisoning in the UK city of Amesbury in early July, Charlie Rowley, was again hospitalized because of impaired vision, Rowley's older brother said Monday.

"Hes just told me now he cant see, he has blurred vision. Its not too good. Hes been knocked sideways. His girlfriend has died, hes just got out of a coma. Hes been released from an intensive care unit and all of a sudden hes back in an IC unit," Matthew Rowley told the Guardian newspaper.

He said he did not know whether his brother's current treatment was related to poisoning incident.

The spokesman for Salisbury district hospital, where Charlie Rowley was hospitalized to, told the publication that neither of the hospital's patients was receiving any nerve agent-related treatment at the moment.

On March 4, former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench at a shopping center in Salisbury.

The United Kingdom and its allies have accused Moscow of having orchestrated the attack with what UK experts claim was the A234 nerve agent, without presenting any proof. Russian authorities have strongly refuted the allegations as groundless.

On July 4, the UK police reported a "serious incident" in Amesbury, where two people were exposed to an unknown substance and hospitalized in critical condition. Shortly after, the UK police announced that the couple, Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley, were believed to have handled an item allegedly contaminated with the same military-grade nerve agent which was allegedly used in an attack on the Skripals in Salisbury. On July 8, Sturgess died at the hospital, while Rowley was discharged from the medical facility on July 20.
