Relatives Of Victims Say Four Suspects To Be Tried For Murder In Downing Of Flight MH17

Relatives of the victims of the the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine say Dutch investigators have told them four suspects will be charged with murder in the air disaster, which killed all 298 people on board.

Family members of the victims told reporters on June 19 that they were briefed by Dutch prosecutors from the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) just ahead of the expected public release of the names of the suspects, along with new information in the case.

"There is a court case on March 9, 2020, against four people for murder," Silene Fredriksz, whose son and daughter-in-law were killed in the disaster, said after being briefed.
