The daughter of the Russian spy colonel targeted in the Salisbury nerve agent attack has been released from hospital
It has been reported that 33-year-old Yulia Skripal left Salisbury district hospital yesterday after five weeks of treatment. It had been a horrific few weeks for the pretty woman and her father who is still recovering in hospital.
After her discharge, she was driven to a secure location where she is expected to receive further medical care.
Yulia and her 66-year-old father Sergei were found slumped on a bench in Salisbury on March 4. Initially, their chances of survival were thought to be zero but both have made rapid progress in recent days. Mr Skripal is no longer in a critical condition and is thought to be communicating.
The Skripals were poisoned with novichok, a Russian-made nerve agent, in a probable attempt by the Kremlin to kill Mr Skripal. Investigators believe the toxin was smeared on the front door handle of Mr Skripal’s home on the outskirts of the city, which his daughter visited after arriving from Moscow on March 3.
