Noviche, a paralyzing neurotoxic agent, can remain active for up to 50 years if stored in a closed container, said British Police Commissioner Neil Bbado.

It has already been said that on June 30 in Britain, two British citizens – a 45-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman – were found unconscious in their home in Eimsberi, located 10 kilometers from Salisbury. The woman died later in the hospital

The police think that they were poisoned in Novičok, where the former Russian Sergey Scripa and his daughter Julia were poisoned with the Salves.

Bbad told Eimesbere Tuesday that the police are still looking for a container in which was "Novichok"

"I would like to say that we have identified and trapped the responsible persons and claim that it does not exist. There is no trace of the paralyzing substance left behind, "said Basu

. The harsh reality is that I can not give you any guarantees for the moment, "he added.

Bbadu expressed hope that a poisoning man Novičok would recover and could provide the police with information on the source of the poisoned substance.
