UK Novichok suspects identified - reports

British Police have reportedly identified the suspects in the Novichok poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal.

A source within the Metropolitan Police says investigators have identified numerous perpetrators, none of which have been named but are believed to be Russians, confirming previous suspicions.

A significant breakthrough came in the form of CCTV footage, which has been cross-checked with border information.

It's interesting timing, as the inquest into Dawn Sturgess' death began on Thursday (local time). Ms Sturgess, a 44-year-old civilian, died after being poisoned by Novichok.

It's believed she found a bottle of what looked like perfume in a park in Amesbury, and when she sprayed the liquid was hit with 10 times the amount of Novichok that poisoned the Skripals.
