No, recordings off him talking candidly to the two female colleagues that he was a bit obssessed with after they twigged that he was trying to throw them off the scent.

As far as I know the case is closed except for a few murmurings from the tin foil hat brigade.

Let's wait for the BBC in London publishing anything in English prior to commenting blind.

It's obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that she's being getting paid by Putin from the get go to try and debunk the daughters story or try and persuade her to shut up.

Of course, not to you, you're obsessed with Putin to the point of a gay crush.

It seems that two, down and out, fagbutt smoking winoes, can find a bottle of Novichok easily. Whereas 100s of anti-terrorists police couldn't. Amazing.

LONDON (Reuters) - British counter-terrorism police said on Friday they believed they had found the source of the Novichok nerve agent that killed a woman in southwest England and left her partner critically ill in hospital.

Dawn Sturgess, 44, died this month, just over a week after she was exposed to Novichok near the city of Salisbury where Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were struck down with the same poison in March.

Sturgess' partner, 45-year-old Charlie Rowley from Amesbury, a town a few miles from Salisbury, is now recovering in hospital.

"On Wednesday ... a small bottle was recovered during searches of Charlie Rowley's house in Amesbury," police said in a statement.
"Scientists have now confirmed to us that the substance contained within the bottle is Novichok."

More tests were being carried out to try and establish whether it is from the same batch that contaminated the Skripals and inquiries were under way to establish where the bottle came from, the statement added.

"This is clearly a significant and positive development. However, we cannot guarantee that there isn’t any more of the substance left," said Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, Head of UK Counter Terrorism Policing.

He declined to give further details on the bottle, but police said inquiries were ongoing to establish where the bottle came from and how it came into Rowley's possession.

Further tests are also being carried out to see if the Novichok came from the same batch that was applied to the front door of Skripal's house in Salisbury.

Britain and its allies blamed Russia for the attack in March on the Skripals, prompting the biggest Western expulsion of Russian diplomats since the Cold War. Moscow has rejected the accusations and has hit back by expelling Western diplomats.

Britain has invited independent technical experts from the international chemical weapons watchdog to travel to the UK early next week to independently confirm the identity of the nerve agent, the British Foreign Office said on Friday.

An inquest into Sturgess' death is set to open and adjourn in Salisbury on next Thursday.

Probably they went through the bins at Porton Down. Just joking. The Russians planted it in the house.

The stupid smack addled bint must of thought she'd won the lottery when she found a bottle full of "perfume".

Lucky she found it and it wasnt left for some inquisitive toddler to pick up.

Teakdoor’s Inspector (Tax) Clouseau closes the case.

Alternatively Charley Rowley is the hitman who attempted to murder Skypal. He forgot to throw away the tools.

Something stinks about this story and it ain't the two wino's.

I see we have a new headline today from the Daily mail :

Russian assassin who carried perfume bottle 'was a WOMAN who took key role in six-strong poison hit team'

But farther down it states ;

The perfume bottle lead supports the theory that a woman was involved in the initial hit by up to six people against Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury on March 4.

An intelligence source told the Daily Mirror: 'It makes sense that a female officer may have been part of the team, playing a key role.'

Thats not quite the same is it.

So they are still making wild guesses that the 'free media' are headlining as fact.

FFS it's the Daily Mail. "Intelligence" is not a word you'd associate with any of their "sources", their "journalists" and definitely not their fucking "readers".

Was that reported in the Daily Mail or Viz? It's important to know the source as this is 'World News' and links are required.

^ Translated means thay have CCTV footage of people who were in Salisbury and later flew out of Britain, but as yet they have no names of those people.

Presuming the CCTV can be identified as from Salisbury, airports CCTV were turned on at the time and some of the 10,000,000 people leaving UK in a month or so, whose images were stored, have red star lapel badges.

"Tourists made 16.41 million trips to the UK between January and June, an 8% rise on the same period in 2013."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28787769

So 16 million visits, x 2 for entry and exit "images" / 6 = 5+ million images with CCTV recognition rates at 4 -8 %

"For an extreme example of what can go wrong, take data recently released by an EU Freedom of Information request and then posted by the South Wales police. It shows that at the Champions League final game in Cardiff last year, South Wales police logged 173 true face matches and wrongly identified a whopping 2,297 people as suspicious—a 92 percent false positive rate."

Until they dredge the river, their search efforts are meaningless. Downriver at least 10 km or so.

A new project for the Thai divers yes?

What else will they, do molest children, as alleged by an ameristani billionaire?

Are you ever going to realise that you simply cannot communicate in English at this level?

What on earth are you babbling on about now?

If I recall correctly, on the day the Skripal's took ill wasn't there a CCTV picture of a man and woman published as being the people connected to the attacked on the Skripal's ? Did they identify them?
