Police fear Wiltshire couple have been exposed to same nerve agent as former Russian spy and his daughter

Scientists at the government’s Porton Down defence laboratory were carrying out tests on Wednesday night to try to establish if a couple had been exposed to a nerve agent in Wiltshire.

A park in Salisbury five minutes’ walk from the bench where the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia collapsed after a suspected Russian attack employing a nerve agent was one of at least seven areas cordoned off in the cathedral city and the nearby town of Amesbury.

Counter-terrorism officers joined the investigation into the incident, which was initially treated as a drugs issue. In Whitehall government officials held meetings of the Cobra committee to discuss developments.

Some friends and neighbours of the couple, British nationals Dawn Sturgess, 44, from Salisbury, and Charlie Rowley, 45, of Amesbury, said they believed they had been exposed to a nerve agent. They remained critically ill at the Salisbury district hospital, where the Skripals were treated after being exposed to the nerve agent novichok.
