Lyubov Kudryavets, a worker at the Torez morgue, said that
on the evening the plane went down, a resident brought in the bloodied body of
a child, about 7 or 8 years old. On Saturday, militiamen came to take away the
body away, she said.
'They began to question me: "Where are the
fragments of rocket? Where are the fragments from the plane?"' Ms Kudryavets said. 'But I didn't have any wreckage. ... I swear.'

Experts said that even if investigators are granted access
now, it might be too late.
'Even without any deliberate attempt at a cover-up, the
crash site is already compromised in forensic terms," said Keir Giles, an
associate fellow at the Chatham House think tank.'A reconstruction of the
aircraft fuselage and wings would give a picture on how the missile struck and
what kind it was. If any aircraft parts have already been removed ... this
compromises the objectivity of the investigation.'
Rutte said the Dutch foreign minister was headed to the U.N.
to lobby 'to further expand the international coalition pushing for quick
recovery of the bodies and getting to the bottom of the terrible events on
MH17.'In the Netherlands, worshippers at church services prayed for the
victims, as anger grew over the rebels' hindering of the investigation.Silene
Fredriksz-Hoogzand, whose son, Bryce, and his girlfriend, Daisy Oehlers, were
among those killed, said she was appalled their bodies weren't being handed
over.'Mr. Putin, send my children home,' she said, speaking on Sky TV from
Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. 'Send them home. Please.'
