A deadly nerve agent that poisoned a former Russian double agent and his daughter in Salisbury was left on the front door of his home, police revealed last night.

Scotland Yard said that Sergei and Yulia Skripal were believed to have come into contact with novichok “at their home address” and the highest concentration of the nerve agent was on the front door. The door, which has a lucky horseshoe attached to it, has a protruding handle that must be pulled shut. The attackers were likely to have known it did not lock automatically and the Skripals would be exposed to the poison when they locked up.
