A former Russian spy and his daughter may have first come into contact with a deadly military-grade nerve agent at their home in the city of Salisbury, British police said Wednesday.

London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement they have “identified the highest concentration of the nerve agent, to-date, as being on the front door of the address" of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skirpal.

"Detectives will continue to focus their enquiries around the home address for the coming weeks, and possibly months as the investigation continues," police said. "Officers will be carrying out thorough searches in the areas surrounding this address as part of the ongoing investigation and as a precautionary measure."

Both Skripal and his daughter remain in critical condition.
