Is this the moment a rebel stole plane victim's ring? - VIDEO
22.07.2014 21:00
A photograph widely circulating on social media last night purported to show a Russian separatist fighter stealing a ring from a victim of the MH17 crash.

In the picture, which has not been independently verified, three rebels wearing military uniforms appear to be rifling through the wreckage.A blonde-haired fighter, wearing a black beret, is bent over what looks like wreckage and apparently holding what seems to be a gold ring.The suggestion is that it could have been found amid a victim’s belongings or even taken from a body.The image, which appears to have been first tweeted in Russian by the user ‘stabilizec’, was shared thousands of times on Twitter.There was a furious backlash online with many users voicing their distaste at the picture despite any confirmation of what it showed. Sean Callaghan from Cheshire called it ‘an appalling act of inhumanity’. Others, however, said rebels may have been looking for an inscription to identify a body. The image came as a video given to the BBC showed other pro-Russia fighters emptying out the luggage of victims of the tragedy. Militiamen tramped over the remains of the aircraft searching for its ‘black box’ flight recorders and other clues minutes after it was shot down.The footage, which the rebels gave to the BBC, provides fresh evidence that they took away material that could have proved crucial for crash investigators.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
