A man and woman found unconscious in Wiltshire were poisoned by Novichok, the same nerve agent as ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal, police say.
The couple, believed to be Charlie Rowley and Dawn Sturgess, are in a critical condition having been found unconscious at a house on Saturday.
Police say no one else has presented with the same symptoms.
There was "nothing in their background" to suggest the pair were targeted, the Met Police said.

Is there any reason the Russians targeted these two?

We don't know that they were targeted. It's possible that they came into contact with leftover novichok from the previous attack.

That's the theory the police are going with.

I had planned on going back to Salisbury soon too. :(

You can't be too careful with these things!

I'm very interested to see how this story develops. We don't seem to know much about the two victims yet, although I think they have now confirmed they have no links to either the Skripals or to espionage. It still seems interesting that 4 months after that incident these two people who seemingly have no connection have been poisoned. Given what has been disclosed about their apparent movements in the window in which they would have come in to contact with the substance it seems strange that nobody else was affected.

The fact that they have only recently moved to their house may be of interest - who was living there before? Is there a reason they recently moved - have they just come in to money?
