Police have moved steel barriers into place at one of the crime scenes in Salisbury as they said the investigation into the nerve agent attack could last until the summer.
Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism chief, Neil Basu, said he was confident that the culprits who left the Russian former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, critically ill would be found but that the inquiry would be prolonged.
Asked if the focus was on Skripal’s BMW, following speculation that it may have been sabotaged, Basu said: “Our focus is on the movements of the Skripals. We are open minded and will follow that evidence wherever it takes us.”
The notion that the investigation could last until the summer at least was supported by the arrival of steel barriers behind the Mill pub, one of the places the Skripals visited before they fell ill.
Elsewhere, the lingering concern about the risk to public health was illustrated by the refusal of an Oxfam shop in Salisbury to take donations.
