Skripal doc 'removed for asking questions

ASPINALL A HOSPITAL consultant has told an inquiry he was removed from the treatment of Yulia Skripal after asking her questions about how she became ill.

Dr Stephen Cockcroft was the ICU consultant who treated novichok victims Yulia and dad Sergei in the first 24 hours after they arrived at Salisbury Hospital on March 4, 2018, the Sturgess Inquiry heard yesterday.

Dr Cockcroft told the hearing his initial working diagnosis was that they had suffered a drugs overdose.
