British investigators in the case of a nerve toxin poisoning of a Russian former spy and his daughter are focusing on the cemetery where Sergei Skripal's wife and son are buried, The Guardian reported.
At a Salisbury cemetery, investigators in full hazmat suits set up tents over the grave of Liudmila Skripal and the memorial of Alexander Skripal, who both died in recent years, the Guardian reported.
Police dismissed reports an exhumation and said there were no plans to carry one out.
According to Liudmila's death certificate, she died of cancer in 2012 at 59, while Alexander, 34, died in March last year in St. Petersburg amid unknown circumstances, the Guardian reported. His remains were cremated.
According to the Guardian, investigators paid the most attention to the site of the son's memorial stone, which is topped by a model of a St. Bernard dog.
Meanwhile, Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia, 33, remain critically ill after being found unconscious on a bench in the center of Salisbury; an officer who was among the first responders, Nick Bailey, remained seriously ill.
Moscow has repeatedly denied it had anything to do with the attack.
