The property, which was purchased for £375,000 in February in a shared ownership deal, had been targeted by hitmen who sprayed military-grade chemical Novichok on the front door.
A family has moved into the Salisbury house where a retired Russian spy was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent five years after the attack.
So deadly was the nerve agent sprayed it also hospitalised police officer Nick Bailey who had merely searched the house. According to the newspaper, council officials were keen to sell the property to stop it becoming a 'museum'.Four months after the attempted assassinations, mother-of-three Dawn Sturgess, 44, died after she found a perfume bottle containing the nerve agent and sprayed it on her wrist.
A third suspect, senior Russian agent Denis Sergeev, was believed to be the on-the-ground commander. All three fled back to Russia after their failed murder attempt.
