Two Russian nationals have been identified as suspects over the Salisbury nerve agent attack. Police and prosecutors said there is sufficient evidence to charge Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov with conspiring to murder Sergei Skripal and attempting to murder the ex-Russian spy, his daughter Yulia and Wiltshire Police detective sergeant Nick Bailey.

Theresa May told the Commons on Wednesday, May that intelligence provided by UK agencies indicated the pair are officers of Russia’s GRU military intelligence service. The PM said around 250 detectives had trawled through 11,000 hours of CCTV footage to identify the attackers and had taken more than 1,400 statements.

“Working around the clock, they have carried out painstaking and methodical work to ascertain exactly which individuals were responsible and the methods they used to carry out the attack,” she told MPs.
