Sergei Skripal told friends Putin would ‘get him’ if he returned home to Russia
Sergei Skripal’s Wiltshire home remained under police cordon six months after he and his daughter were poisoned with novichok.Sergei Skripal’s Wiltshire home remained under police cordon six months after he and his daughter were poisoned with novichok.A deadly nerve agent was applied to former spy Sergei Skripal’s front door while he and his daughter, Yulia, were at home, a counter-terrorism chief has revealed.
Cassidy, a former member of the Royal Navy, said they enjoyed barbecues, drinks in a railway social club and a New Year’s Eve party together. “Sergei amused me in an ironic sort of way. Our families knew each other, our friends became Sergei’s friends,” he said. On 3 March 2018, the day before the poisonings, the Cassidys and Sergei Skripal went to pick up Yulia, who lived in Russia, from Heathrow. When they got back to Salisbury, Maureen Cassidy popped into the Skripal house and used the bathroom. Skripal touched the door handle when he opened it and Maureen Cassidy believes she may have touched it as she left.
