The details of the investigation are given on the Scotland-Jard website . The results of the test of samples taken from the victims came from the Center for Protection from the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear danger of the Porton Daun Ministry of Defense.
The police do not yet know how the "beginner" could influence a couple. At first, the investigators believed that Rowley and Rodges could use poorly purified drugs, heroin or cocaine, but they quickly abandoned this version. There are evidence of one of the friends of this couple named Sam Hobson, who told that on the eve of June 29, Rowley and Rodges visited the neighboring Salisbury. On the morning of June 30, he said, the woman was the first to lose consciousness, but this did not happen before his eyes. Then Rowley, next to which Hobson was located, began to lose his strength very quickly and sweat: “Sweat dripped on the floor, foam was going on from his mouth, it was impossible to talk to him,” recalls Hobson, whose words with reference to France Press quoted the BBC.

So far, there is no evidence that the injured couple visited exactly those places in Salisbury that were deactivated after the poisoning of the Skripals. The police emphasize that in the biography of Rowley and Rodges there is also nothing that leads to suspicions of their connections with any special services .
About 100 investigators of Scotland Yard, the County Police of Wiltshire and counter-terrorism services are now engaged in studying all the details of this strange incident. One of the versions-Rowley and Rodges could somehow contact syringes, containers or other containers in which the "Novice" used in Salisbury against Sergey and Julia Skripal was previously stored.
The head physician of Great Britain, Professor Sally Davis, said that the probability of new poisoning in the county of Wiltshire is extremely small, but recommended all the inhabitants of Eimsbury, who could be in the places that are now numb and examined by military, doctors and police, disinfect and mock their clothes and personal belongings.

The head to investigators.
The Dailey Telegraph newspaper recalls how, after an attempt on Sergey and Julia Skripal, scientists said that the "newcomer" is an organophosphorus compound that quickly breaks up with contact with water, that is, from rains. However, later it became clear that this is an extremely persistent substance that has not reacted to the state of the environment for a long time, which can decompose for quite some time and settle on any surfaces where completely random people can contact it.
On July 5, a press secretary of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Vladimir Peskov, stated that in Moscow they were alarmed by a new incident with the Novice, and noted that no official appeals from London have been received in connection with him yet.
