Salisbury Novichok poisoning: Two Russian nationals named as suspects
Two Russian nationals have been named as suspects in the attempted murder of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. There is "sufficient evidence" to charge Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov over the attack in Salisbury, Scotland Yard and the CPS say. They are thought to have been using the names as aliases and are about 40. Mr Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, were poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok in March. The CPS is not applying to Russia for the extradition of the two men, as Russia does not have extradition agreements with the UK. A European Arrest Warrant has been obtained in case they travel to the EU, however. In response, the Russian foreign ministry has said the names and photographs of the men "do not mean anything to Moscow". |
