«Breaking News» Girl, 16, who was the first person to rush to help Skripals after nerve agent poisoning

A teenage girl was the first person to go to the aid of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter after they were poisoned by a nerve agent, it has emerged.

Abigail McCourt, 16, thought the stricken spy was suffering a heart attack on a bench in Salisbury city centre, as other shoppers walked past oblivious.

She dashed over and used the first aid skills she had learned at school to help 66-year-old Sergei and put his daughter, Yulia, 33, in the recovery position as the deadly novichok took hold.

Abigail’s key role has only now come to light because her mother, Lieutenant Colonel Alison McCourt – the Army’s most senior nurse – nominated her for a ‘local hero’ award.

Speaking after she won the Lifesaver Award on Friday night, Abigail, from Larkhill, Wiltshire, told how she intervened after she and her family had been celebrating her brother’s birthday in March last year.

She said: ‘We were coming home and I saw them on the bench. People were walking past and I don’t think anyone had really noticed them. I was telling my mum because I thought he was having a heart attack, and so we went over and it developed from there.’

Abigail, who later had to undergo hospital tests for the nerve agent, added: ‘I did make a massive difference I think because the woman [Yulia] wasn’t breathing at the time when we found her.’

She did not know the Skripals were victims of a Kremlin hit squad until the next day. She explained: ‘At break someone said to me on Snapchat, “Is this the thing you were talking about?” and I was like, “OK, wow!” ’

The Skripals survived but mother-of-three Dawn Sturgess died after handling a discarded bottle in which the poison had been hidden.

Abigail’s mother, who won a medal for her role in tackling the ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone, said: ‘As a qualified nurse, it was a fairly routine situation for me but my daughter was amazing.

‘Her prompt actions, spotting them in difficulty, and the way she assisted me to put Yulia Skripal in the recovery position had a significant impact on the outcome of the two victims.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
