Sergei and his daughter, Yulia, were poisoned in Salisbury, Wiltshire exactly one year ago. The constable added that it would be helpful to other police chiefs throughout the United Kingdom if the government shared information with them concerning the presence of other people of public prominence in their respective jurisdictions.
"I had no prior knowledge at all, this is a governmental issue, in terms of where former spies would be housed," the police chief told the news outlet.
The Skripal poisoning shook the small city of Salisbury on March 4, 2018, when the father and daughter fell ill after coming into contact with a nerve agent allegedly sprayed by Russian military intelligence officers onto their home's door handle. Moscow has repeatedly denied Russia's involvement in the incident, noting that London has not provided any evidence that would substantiate the accusations, nor published the police investigation.
