‘Skripal suspects’ tell Russian media they visited Britain’s Salisbury as
tourists
MOSCOW, Sept 13, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Two men accused by London of poisoning
former spy Sergei Skripal told Russian media on Thursday they visited the
British city of Salisbury for tourist purposes and denied having anything to
do with the murder attempt.
The two men, who bore a strong resemblance to the pictures of the suspects
released by Britain, made the claim in an interview with the head of the RT
news network.
