3 found guilty in absentia over shooting down of flight MH17

Turning over to the Netherlands now, where a court has sentenced three people to life sentences, over the shooting down of flight MH17.
The court on Thursday found two Russians and a Pro-Moscow Ukrainian seperatist guilty of murder in absentia.
Malaysia Airlines flight 17 was shot down by a Russian-made missile in July 2014, killing 298 people, including almost 200 Dutch citizens.
The plane was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was downed over a separatist-controlled region of Ukraine.
A fourth person accused was acquitted over a lack of evidence.
