Steurzes and Rowley were discovered unconscious in a private house in Eimsbury, the county of Wiltshire, with signs of severe poisoning. Initially, doctors believed that the victims were poisoned by a severe drug like heroin or Crak. Now they are in the Salisbury district hospital, where former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia were treated after the March attempt.
Steurzes and Rowley are British subjects, they are about 40 years old. They are not reported about their kind of classes. It is unlikely that a focused attempt was made on them, writes The Guardian.
Objects in Aimsbury, Salisbury and the surroundings, allegedly visited by the victims, are numb - such a measure is represented as a preventive one.
Skripal, convicted in Russia for the state treason, and subsequently sent to the West as part of the "spy exchange", and his daughter, who came to his father from Moscow, were poisoned on March 4. Both have been in critical condition for several weeks, but in the end they went recovering and were discharged from the hospital. With less dangerous poisoning, a policeman, who studied the place where the Skripals were discovered unconscious, got into the hospital.
As it turned out, the former agent and his daughter were poisoned by the nervous poison "Novice" developed in the USSR. The conclusions of the British chemists were confirmed by the organization to prohibit chemical weapons. London accused the Russian authorities of a crime . However, Moscow categorically denies its involvement in the poisoning of the Skripals.
