Sergei Skripal, a former Russian spy who is believed to be a contact of Christopher Steele, and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with a nerve agent this week, and a police officer has also fallen into critical condition after administering a first response. All 3 are currently in comas. This comes 1 year after Sergeis son died on a trip to St. Petersburg, with conflicting reports on his cause of death, and 2 years after Sergeis brother, Valery Skripal, a career VDV soldier, died after an illness which caused massive weightloss. Sergeis wife also died of cancer in 2012, although that may or may not be related. A current rumor is that Sergei and Yulia were poisoned after opening a present in a restaurant that Yulia had that was thought to be from friends. Apparently Sergei Skripal was actually not quite entirely retired, and is believed to have been in regular contact with both Christopher Steele and the Russian Embassy in London.

Edit: The poisoning took place in Salisbury, not London. However it seems I am not able to change the title, so if a mod sees this, it would be nice if it was changed. Thankyou.
Done.
