Two men — known by the aliases Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov — were charged in absentia for the attack in September. Investigative website Bellingcat has named them as Alexander Yevgenyevich Mishkin and Anatoliy Chepiga, both of whom work for Russia’s GRU intelligence services. Police realized video footage of two men arriving and moving around Salisbury on Sunday March 4, the day the Skripals were found slumped in the center of the English city. A man and a woman were poisoned in the nearby town of Amesbury on June 30 after police believe they handled a perfume bottle that contained Novichok, a military-grade nerve agent developed by the Soviet Union used in the Skripal poisoning. The woman, Dawn Sturgess, died. Police said they were appealing for more information from anybody who may have seen the two men in Britain between 2-4 March or had seen the counterfeit ‘Nina Ricci’ perfume box or bottle.
