MH17 relatives shown plane reconstruction

The father of one of the victims of flight MH17, along with hundreds of other relatives, has been shown a meticulous reconstruction of the remains of the Boeing 777 which came down over eastern Ukraine in July 2014.

Newcastle United fans Liam Sweeney and John Alder were among the 298 victims. The Dutch Safety Board's report found the plane was hit by a Russian-made missile.

Dutch Air Accident investigators gathered the families together at the Gilze-Rijen Air Base to take them through the events.

Mr Sweeney said the reconstruction process was deeply emotional but it did provide some comfort for him
