A partly council-owned property where a former Russian spy was poisoned with novichok is on the market.

The Salisbury home is currently up for sale and offers a 30% shared ownership opportunity, due to Wiltshire Council holding the remainder of the stakes.

Former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter had been poisoned in the house in 2018. They became very ill following the attack that they both survived.

The council had reportedly bought the property after the incident occurred to ensure it could not become a tourist attraction or trading opportunity.
