Two suspects in the Salisbury poisoning visited the city “for reconnaissance purposes” the day before former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with Novichok, a senior police officer has said.

The Dawn Sturgess Inquiry was shown mobile phone cell site data from March 3 2018, and Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command, said it is the police’s assessment that all three suspects – Sergey Fedotov, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov – met at Waterloo Station in London before Petrov and Boshirov travelled to Salisbury.
