LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will remove the roof of the Salisbury home of former spy Sergei Skripal to decontaminate the property, ten months after he was found poisoned with nerve agent nearby in an attack that Britain has blamed on Russia.

Skripal was found with his daughter Yulia collapsed on a public bench in the southern English city in March, and Britain has charged two Russians in absentia with their attempted murder.
