Her 20-year-old son Evan Hope wrote an emotional letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin; the text of the message was published The Mirror.

“Dear Vladimir Putin!

Almost a year has passed since my mother Don was murdered by “Novice” in Salisbury. The pain of this loss for me or my family will never go away. British police believe that at least two Russian citizens are responsible for her death, but they seem to be protected by your state.

I appeal to you as a person with a request to allow our officers to question these people about the murder of my mother.

She deserves at least justice,” the man wrote in a letter.

Evan admitted to reporters that he had concerns that the soul of 44-year-old Don would never find peace due to the fact that her killers would not be punished. He accuses the British government of not giving him any support, and says that his family even had to ask for support from a charitable organization in order to pay for his mother's funeral.

As a result of the investigation, the British police found out that Alexander Mishkin and Anatoly Chepiga from the military intelligence unit of Russia (GRU) were responsible for the death of Don, as well as the poisoning of the former Russian reconnaissance scout Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

Evan believes that only Putin, who denies the involvement of these people in the murder, can help bring the case of his mother's poisoning to the end.

“Putin must give up protecting these killers so my family can finally get justice. He must show that he is capable of showing humanity to our family. I would like him to imagine how he would feel if he were in my place. We lost our mom and all we want is justice. He should be able to understand this. I'm desperate. Putin is the only person who can ensure justice. I need his help to do right by my mom. I’m counting on him,” Evan said.

He, his 22-year-old brother Aidan, and 12-year-old sister Grace have still not recovered from Don's death. 4 March will be one year since Skripale poisoning, a few months after which Don died. But Evan says that if Violinists were given protection, then his family was left without help.

“I'm afraid we'll never get justice for Mom and I feel betrayed and disappointed by our government. I know they supported the Skripals, and I'm glad about that because I feel for them and what they went through,” he said.

But he added that his family was less fortunate: “My family did not have such support, and we lost our mother. She was an innocent victim, but we never heard anything from Theresa May or the government - not a phone call, not a letter, not anything. “I feel like the government just wants to move on, but we can’t because we haven’t gotten justice for mom.”

Don died in July 2018 of the year, a few months after the attack on Skripale. Her partner Charlie Rowley found the bottle, which he considered perfume, and gave it to her.

The condition of the woman became critical within 15 minutes. The funeral was held behind closed doors due to fears of contamination with a poisonous substance.

Evan admitted that when he first saw photos of the suspects on the news, he was very angry: “I was so angry... they looked so smug and pleased with themselves. But I also felt relieved because I thought that after this something would move forward and they would get caught. Now I feel like we were deceived. The strange thing is that we know who killed Mom, there is evidence, and we know how it happened, but we cannot force them to appear in court. It's really frustrating,” he added.

The man admitted that it is difficult for him to live a normal life after the loss of his mother.

“I feel like I should try to move on and put this behind me, but at the same time I don’t want to because I want justice for my mom first,” Evan said.

Recall, the former GRU officer Sergey Skripal and his daughter Julia were found unconscious on a bench in Salisbury March 4 2018. They were taken to hospital in critical condition. The police found that they were poisoned nerve agent. About 20 people were poisoned, including the policeman who first visited the scene and the house of Skripal. On the fact of poisoning a case of attempted murder. As a result, the ex-scout and his daughter came to their senses and live in a secret place in Britain to protect their safety.

In Russia, Skripal was convicted in 2006 for spying for British intelligence. In 2010, he was exchanged for Russian intelligence agents uncovered in the United States.

After investigating, Britain came to the conclusion that the nerve agent of the new generation of the group called “Rookie” was used for poisoning. Since no country other than Russia had access to this substance, London declared that Russia was most likely responsible for the attempt.

In September 2018 years the British authorities have named the two suspects in the poisoning Skripale - they were Russians Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov. The British police both named workers of the Russian intelligence service.

Later suspects were interviewed by Russia Today, in which they stated that they are “mid-level entrepreneurs”, work in the fitness industry and have no relation to intelligence. Petrov and Boshirov, in their words, came to Salisbury as tourists to “relax and look at the famous cathedral.”
