Salisbury Poisoning CCTV Has Suspects Walking in the Wrong Direction

Image 5 in the Met Police’s CCTV collection of Petrov and Boshirov also poses some questions. Their timeline says:
Image five shows the suspects ten minutes later — at 11.58 — on Wilton Road, Salisbury, we say, moments before the attack.
The police did not say where on Wilton Road that this image was captured, but it is outside the Shell petrol station. I confirmed this via streetview, using the fading double yellow lines as a guide.
The problem is that for Petrov and Boshirov to be outside the Shell Garage at 11:58, having arrived via Salisbury train station at 11:48, they would have had to walk directly there (it’s about 3/4 mile, in 10 minutes). This is the second time that the official story has them displaying shockingly poor tradecraft in heading straight to their target, instead of taking a less-obvious and more circuitous route. The first time was when they flew directly from Russia into the UK.
However, if they were headed straight for Sergei Skripal’s house, as the police maintain, then they shouldn’t have stayed on Wilton Road as far as the Shell garage/petrol station. Indeed, the more direct route doesn’t even take you up Wilton Road.

Likewise, if you did go up Wilton Road then it makes more sense to cut across via Highbury Avenue than continue up and past the Shell petrol station:

So we are presented with a contradiction — Boshirov and Petrov allegedly set out for Skripal’s house as soon as they arrived in Salisbury. But instead of taking the shortest, most direct route they took a marginally longer route down a main road that any intelligence officer would know is going to be full of CCTV cameras. Somehow they aren’t captured on CCTV for over half a mile, until they pass the Shell petrol station. But they should have turned off Wilton Road before then, if indeed they were headed more or less directly to Sergei Skripal’s house.
The Fisherton Street Diversion
According to the police, after visiting Sergei Skripal’s house and painting his doorknob with perfumed Novichok, they didn’t return to the train station to get out of the country before anyone discovered what they had done. Instead they took a walk down to the opposite side of Salisbury, somehow without being captured on any CCTV cameras, before being caught walking back up Fisherton Street shortly after 13:00.

Furthermore, the timings don’t make much sense. They covered the 3/4 of a mile from the train station to the Shell petrol station in 10 minutes, walking around 4 miles/hour. It then took them another hour and seven minutes to walk the short distance to Christie Miller Road, paint the doorknob and walk the 3/4 mile or so from Skripal’s house down to Fisherton Street. It then took them another 42 minutes to get from the middle of Fisherton Street to the railway station, despite it being a very short distance.
Somewhere in the middle of all this they supposedly took the Novichok perfume bottle apart, put it back in its packaging (which neither of them are seen carrying in any of the CCTV), resealed it in cellophane wrapping and hidden it in a location that would remain unsearched for four months. Even though Charlie Rowley says he found the box of perfume in a ‘charity bin’.
Meanwhile, a story that has probably been held back awaiting the release of these CCTV images, which themselves have been held back for over a month, appeared in the Telegraph.
It claims that guests who stayed in the London hotel where Petrov and Boshirov stayed were told that traces of Novichok had been found there. The story repeatedly stated that there is no threat to the public, contrary to everything they’ve been saying in Salisbury. Novichok remains the perfume for all seasons — at one moment harmless and nothing to worry about and at the next a quasi-indestructible poison that could be anywhere, anytime.
