A two-man hit team led the Salisbury nerve agent attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal, Scotland Yard believes. The pair are thought to have left the UK the next morning after carrying out the attempted assassination on behalf of the Kremlin, according to The Sun.
They are now thought to be back in Russia and under the protection of President Vladimir Putin. Met anti-terror cops and spooks have spent weeks hunting the hitmen who targeted ex-Russian double agent Skripal and his daughter Yulia with deadly Novichok nerve agent.
