In March, sleepy Salisbury, a small city just over an hour from London, became the centre of international intrigue when a former Russian spy and his daughter were found catatonic on a bench.
After a series of tests, doctors learned they had been poisoned by a military grade nerve agent which had been produced in the Soviet Union.
An international political crisis followed: Diplomatic relations between Britain, its allies, and Russia reached a historic low as doctors scrambled to revive the Skripals.
Then three months later, the scandal deepened, leaving one Briton dead and another in critical condition.
