I don't know what sort of "research" involves a cyanide injected apple unless it has something to do with talking mirrors.
The apple wasn't injected with cyanide. Turing had electroplating chemicals in his spare room that weren't stored properly, and he either inhaled it or it got on his nightly apple. That's according to the accidental poisoning position that the forensic investigator also said was a possibility. But I wouldn't doubt he was murdered and had an elaborate cover up.
Sorry, I never use this account, but the other commenter explained it fine. According to the accidental poisoning theory, the apple was not injected with cyanide, but rather he or the apple was accidentally exposed to it as a byproduct of his chemistry research.
