Indeed they do that all the time as banner headlines tend to come before the true facts.

Maybe but I don't see how these substances could travel that distance without being detected.

Re: UPDATED: New Novichok Poisoning Incident in Amesbury, Wiltshire.
According to reports - The couple in the Amesbury Incident are believed to have been in Salisbury on Friday and on roads that had been sealed off during the Skripal poisoning. Have this British couple been unfortunate enough to have been contaminated from left over residue of the Russian Novichok Nerve Agent in Salisbury?
Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, is to host an emergency Cobra meeting tomorrow morning.

Or were one or both of them responsible for the original poisoning

Re: UPDATED: New Novichok Poisoning Incident in Amesbury, Wiltshire.
Are these substances even able to survive outside that long?

Re: UPDATED: New Novichok Poisoning Incident in Amesbury, Wiltshire.
Likely that they've come in contact with the poorly disposed of source container. That would ensure it survived in adverse conditions. Other suggestions are tainted items that again have been poorly disposed of.
Be nothing to confirm until they've retraced their actions. If there's anything left to confirm that is.

Sounds plausible, you've got to question the competence of the assassins though to poorly dispose of such evidence, mind you they have proven to be inept already, four people poisoned and thankfully no fatalities

Strangely enough they're both known drug users. Many possibilities here.
I did like yours however. Would be a juicy conspiracy if they were the would be assassins and the Russians have come back to tie up the botched job.

Re: UPDATED: New Novichok Poisoning Incident in Amesbury, Wiltshire.
It doesn't make that much sense for this to be a targeted attack from Russia unless there is some information we're missing which is why the contamination is probably the most likely scenario.
Other options would be Russian misdirection to sow doubt on the original poisoning or that it wasn't Russia and someone in running around Wiltshire with Novichok and just coincidentally the first people they targeted just happened to be Russian spies. Neither of which are plausible I don't think.

From what I recall of the Salisbury findings, the Novichok is completely weather proof, so that is extremely likely that that a prior contaminated source, has survived, despite a decontamination effort that was done back in April and they may have missed that source.
Makes no sense why two British citizens were targeted in this latest incident.

So how were they both affected the next day and simultaneously?

First one, then the other when it got passed on?

It acts quickest when ingested or inhaled and more slowly when contact is made through skin exposure.
Novichok is designed to be persistent - it neither evaporates nor decomposes quickly.
