4:57Now PlayingThe family of Dawn Sturgess have delivered a statement after a report into her death was published.
Her family said they felt "vindicated" by the report, which recognised how Wiltshire Police wrongly characterised Ms Sturgess as a drug user.
Ms Sturgess' father Stanley Sturgess said: "We can have Dawn back now. She's been public for seven years. We can finally put her to peace."
The public inquiry found that the assassination attempt on a former Russian spy was authorised by Vladimir Putin, who is "morally responsible" for the death of a woman poisoned by the nerve agent used in the attack.
