Episode 232 - Novichok Eau de Toilette: Sergei & Yulia

On the 4th of March, 2018, the residents of Salisbury, England, watched on in horror as British soldiers flooded their streets, and people in hazmat suits cordoned off their roads. Earlier that day, a man and a woman had collapsed on the high street; both were convulsing and foaming from the mouth.

The people of Salisbury had no idea that their sleepy little town was ground zero for the first chemical weapon attack, using a deadly nerve agent, in Western Europe since WW2.
