A chief executive at Porton Down has said the chemical defence laboratory is “100% certain” Novichok was used in the attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury. Despite this, Gary Aitkenhead admitted they can’t prove the nerve agent was from Russia, saying, “our job within this whole episode is to provide scientific facts”. Report by Swinnertonl.
