The cemetery where Sergei Skripal’s relatives are buried became the focus of the investigation after it emerged his wife Liudmila and son Alexander both passed away in recent years. Mr Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia, 33 (pictured together top left) are still fighting for their lives in hospital after being attacked with a deadly nerve agent in Salisbury. Mr Skripal and his daughter are thought to have visited the family graves (pictured bottom right) after she flew to the UK from her home in Moscow days before she and her father were poisoned Protected police officers, fire crews and ambulances swarmed the cemetery (top right), eventually taking flowers and trinkets from the Skripal gravesides and taking them by military convoy to Salisbury District Hospital. It is not clear whether detectives plan to exhume Mrs Skripal's body, but sources say they have not ruled it out and could carry out forensic testing at a later stage. The hospital declared a major incident after the nerve agent attack unfolded on Sunday and has been used to examine Mr Skripal's car and the police vehicle Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who was also poisoned, was in. Tonight a convoy carrying Sgt Bailey's car (pictured left and inset) was seen leaving the hospital.
