UK Police Release New Footage Showing Skripal Poisoning Suspects in Salisbury

LONDON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd November, 2018) London's Metropolitan Police Service published three new pieces of CCTV footage showing the two suspects in the poisoning of Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter walking around the UK city of Salisbury on the day of the incident.

"CCTV footage of the two suspects - known by their aliases Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov - shows them as they arrive and travel around Salisbury on Sunday 4 March ... The first CCTV clip shows the two suspects as they arrive at Salisbury train station on Sunday 4 March at around 11:48hrs [11:48 GMT]," Scotland Yard said in a statement.

"The third clip shows the two men walking over a bridge on Fisherton Street at approximately 13:00 hours before they eventually return to Salisbury train station and travel back to Heathrow and catch a flight to Moscow later that night," the statement added.

The police also released the images of a "specially made model of the counterfeit perfume bottle" where the toxic substance had allegedly been kept.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon, who is the senior national coordinator for UK Counter Terrorism Policing said that the law enforcement was looking into where the bottle was between the time the police believed it was used on March 4 and when it was found Charlie Rowley, one of the victims in the Amesbury poisoning incident, on June 27.

The police also once against appealed to "anyone who may have seen either of the two men in the UK between 2-4 March, or anyone who may have seen the counterfeit 'Nina Ricci' perfume box or bottle that was eventually recovered from Charlie Rowley's address in Muggleton Road in July."
