The first contact with the nerve agent novichok for former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter was right at home, say British police — literally at the front door.

“Specialists have identified the highest concentration of the nerve agent, to-date, as being on the front door of the address,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

The Skripal residence in Britain was pinpointed as an initial attack site, UK authorities said on Wednesday, March 28.

A high-profile, international investigation into the attack continues, as do Russia’s denials.
