Salisbury, scratchcards and sausage: the quiet life of Sergei Skripal

Sergei Skripal has lived a quiet and modest but not completely hidden life in the cathedral city of Salisbury.

Home is a modern redbrick house that he bought under his real name without a mortgage for £260,000 in 2011, a year after the spy swap. He lived there with his wife, Liudmila, until her death from cancer five years ago.

Skripal, who drives a BMW, shops for Polish sausage at the Bargain Stop convenience store where he also indulges his love of gambling, buying up to £40-worth of lottery scratchcards at a time.

He recently joined the Railway social club near the city centre and has developed a taste for local ale as well as vodka.
