You'd have thought that with such a high profile Patient on the premises that there would have been increased Security there.... assuming the Skripal's are indeed still there / alive ?

OPCW confirm that the attack on the Scripals was made using high-grade novichok nerve agent.

Overzealous TV crew. Unfortunate that they were Russian, but I can understand their desire to get "a scoop."
Doesn't appear they were there to "finish the job", thankfully.
Yulia Skripal should make a public appearance and state her wishes for British and Russian help clearly to many reporters. She's in a difficult position, since both sides have reason for suspicion. Mom is still in Russia and could be used to pressure her into saying or doing things. Of course, the Russians will make the same argument about her father being held. They will claim she is be coerced.
Last week, Yulia called her mother. There was a news report about it in Russia. Mom said she sounded normal.
In the fight for credibility, I'll believe the Brits over Russians, but I'm clearly biased from 50+ hrs of history and family knowledge. BTW, my grandfather was both born in Russia before immigrating to the US as a toddler.
