Three people have been convicted of the murders of 298 people
A Dutch court has convicted two Russians and a Ukrainian separatist of the murders of 298 people - including a Blackpool man - who died in the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over Ukraine.
One Russian was acquitted because of a lack of evidence. The three who were convicted were sentenced to life imprisonment. The prosecution had sought life sentences for all four. Prosecutors and the suspects have two weeks to file an appeal. “I call it a stone in my heart, and stones… don’t disappear,” he said. The Hague District Court sat at a high-security courtroom at Schiphol Airport.
At the time of the downing, he was defence minister and commander of the armed forces of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic — the region where the plane was shot down.
