The daughter of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal was the real target of the nerve agent attack, relative claims
MORE details have emerged about a nerve agent attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, as Malcolm Turnbull backed retaliatory steps against Russia.
Double agent Sergei Skripals daughter was the real target of the nerve agent attack that left them fighting for life, his niece has claimed.
According to The Sun , Victoria Skripal said Yulia, 33, had a bust-up with her boyfriends mum after he announced they planned to start a family.
And relatives are now pointing the finger at the prospective mother-in-law after it was disclosed she was a highly-ranked Russian security official.
The mum, who has not been identified, is said to have been furious that her son was marrying into the family of a man who betrayed 300 Russian agents.
And sources close to the Skripal family say she launched the Salisbury plot to stop him being tainted.
Victoria, 45, from Yaroslavl, north east of Moscow, said: My opinion is that it was done not against Uncle Sergei, but against his daughter.
The mother didnt accept Yulia and thought that, if she was a traitors daughter, then she herself would betray her country.
Victoria added: The method is sort of typical for women. Women likes poisons, they consider this kind of way of reprisal beautiful.

Yes, mothers-in-law are often devious and very powerful.

Then again, maybe the mother is agreeing to this setup to save putin's ass.

.........Mrs May told the House of Commons: To those who seek to do us harm, our message is clear you are not welcome here.
Blasting Putins refusal to respond to her demand for an explanation, the PM said: It was right to offer Russia the opportunity to provide an explanation.
But their response has demonstrated complete disdain for the gravity of these events. They have provided no credible explanation that could suggest they lost control of their nerve agent.
No explanation as to how this agent came to be used in the United Kingdom; no explanation as to why Russia has an undeclared chemical weapons program in contravention of international law..................
