The CCTV footage was released as cops opened a murder investigation into the death of London-based Putin critic Nikolai Glushkov.

A security camera at the Devizes Inn pub caught Skripal driving towards the city centre in his maroon BMW 3-Series at 1.35pm on March 4.

The five-door sedan is seen going past the pub, followed by a red Ford Fiesta.

Anti-terror cops seized the CCTV footage in a bid to gain information about his whereabouts in the 40 minutes between leaving his house and arriving in the city centre.
