First MH17 dead to be flown to Netherlands

Update : 23 Jul 2014, 07:01 AM

The first bodies of the victims found from the crashed Malaysia Airlines plane are to be flown to the Netherlands for identification.

The Malaysia Airlines' MH17 plane was crashed in Ukraine last week.

A day of mourning is being held to mark the occasion, more than five days after the aircraft was downed in a rebel-held area in eastern Ukraine, reported BBC Online.

Meanwhile US intelligence officials said they believed pro-Russian rebels had shot down the jet by mistake.

But no direct link to Russia itself had been found, they added.

The plane crashed in a rebel-held area after apparently being hit by a missile on 17 July killing all 298 people on board, most of whom were Dutch.

A refrigerated train carriage carrying around 200 bodies from the crash site arrived in the government-held city of Kharkiv on Tuesday.
