Salisbury
poisonings: two Russian suspects named
Channel
4
The
government says they were Russian intelligence operatives who went on
to commit the Salisbury novichok attack before flying back to Moscow
the same day. The Crown Prosecution Service said there's enough
evidence to charge them, but there's little if any prospect of a
trial.
- The movements of the two Russian agents during their 55-hour whistlestop trip to the UK were set out in painstaking detail by Scotland Yard today.
- Novichok suspects Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov arrived in the UK on a Friday afternoon on Friday March 2 and, after two nights in a budget hotel in east London, flew back to Russia on the evening of Sunday March 4.
- On the Saturday, the day before the attack, they carried out a reconnaissance trip to Salisbury before returning to London.
- On the Sunday, they took another train to Salisbury and are thought to have smeared the Novichok on Mr Skripal's front door.
- That afternoon they returned to London and flew from Heathrow hours after the Skripals were found collapsed in a park.
