Police Report

 * Counter-terrorism police release images of two suspects in connection with Salisbury attack -Met Police, 5 September, 2018
 * ''On Sunday, 4 March, they made the same journey from the hotel, again using the underground from Bow to Waterloo station at approximately 8.05am, before continuing their journey by train to Salisbury.
 * That brings them to Salisbury at about 9.46 am (or later). Train takes 1:22 to 1:33 (hr:min), so immediately getting on a train will bring them to Salisbury at 9:27; present Sunday schedule has it arriving 9:46 (somehow it took them 2 h 40 min the day earlier, 11:45 to 2:25 pm; unfamiliar/needed help to make the transfer?)
 * And Skirpals left the house, when? Sergei's car is seen in the area of London Road, Churchill Way North and Wilton Road about 9.15am--here, and here.
 * March 4, arrived after Skripals left the house? Then what? --Resup (talk) 22:20, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Video played on BBC: left Salisbury station 11:48 am (what took them so long? 8:05 appears to be time of arrival to Waterloo, not departure from the City Stay hotel, 94 Bow Road; even in the latter case, it's extra 30 min on the tube). Wilton Road ('near Skripal house'), 11:58 am . Fisherton St, Salisbury 13:05 and 13:08 pm (it's midway between Zizzi and train station, some 5 min walk to either). Salisbury station (CCTV), 13:45. Back at Waterloo station, London, 4:45 pm . So gone from Salisbury, not later than 3:15 pm (with apparent 3 hours train journey time, unexplained). Skripals in Zizzi restaurant, 2:40 to 3:40 (here). So , when and where they were poisoned?
 * BBC is saying that it is believed poisoning happened at Skripal home, via doorknob, at about 12 pm. But (1) British victims apparently had much quicker effect; near-simultaneous action on two different adults (kicking in quite fast after a long delay) is unlikely (2) it is not shown that Skripals were back at home, after leaving by 9:15 and spotted in town at 13:30

'Petrov' and 'Boshirov'

 * To Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov - by Alexey Venediktov, Ed. Ch., Echo Moskvy, 7 September, 2018
 * ''Mr. Alexander Petrov and Mr. Ruslan Boshirov, if you have something to respond to the accusations of the British authorities, the radio station Ekho Moskvy is ready to provide you with its broadcast.
 * Andrei Piontkovsky: Lugovoi and Kovtun saved themselves by running to Echo and going public.
 * Instagram, 7 September, 2018
 * ''Dear journalists, information on Boshirov living in our house is incorrect. Please do not disturb our house residents! Administration.
 * Александр Петров пообещал дать комментарий по делу Скрипалей (Aleksandr Petrov promised to comment on Skripals' affair) - Vesti/Russia-24, 12 September, 2018
 * Aleksandr Petrov (to Russia-24 correspondents): 'No comment so far. Maybe next week.' 
 * RT editor-in-chief’s exclusive interview with Skripal case suspects Petrov & Boshirov (TRANSCRIPT), RT, September 13, 2018 video
 * What they say about weather, in general checks out, though I am not sure about particular conditions in particular places, and how trains were running. Feel stupid that did not make the connection with big train delays; just not used to state of affairs when snow has big effect on transport --even hearing about that this is the case --Resup (talk) 15:26, 13 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Stonehedge and the Old Sarum were indeed closed on March 3, so no Bus tour from the train station, just as they say. Open on the 4th. --CE (talk) 21:33, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

 * ''A guest who recognised the pair from CCTV images released by police told the newspaper: ‘I could smell weed from their room. It was by the door and in the corridor, it was unmistakable. It must have been around 7pm. ‘Later there was a woman in there. I think she was a prostitute. They were having sex. Definitely. I heard them having really loud sex for a long time. ‘It was definitely a woman. I don’t think the men were having sex with each other.’

 * Alleged document is published, with a photo and partially blacked out text. "The "  Insider ", the first to receive the documents, writes that they were provided by a source from the Russian police. The BBC can not confirm the authenticity of the documents. Two sources working in the FMS (the service was disbanded in 2016, its powers were transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs), the BBC reported that documents of this form - No. 1P - are actually filed when replacing and issuing a Russian passport."
