Salisbury

The coroner at the inquest into the Novichok poisonings in Salisbury will write to Priti Patel to request a full public inquiry into the incidents.

Denis Sergeev, who used the alias Sergey Vyacheslavovich Fedotov, is believed to be a member of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU.

Czech police have linked the Russian suspects connected to the Salisbury Novichok poisoning to an attack four years earlier on an arms depot.
