The father of a passenger who lost his life on the tragic MH17 flight in 2014 has spoken of his war fears, as tensions continue to grow on the Ukrainian and Russian border.
28-year-old Liam Sweeney was on the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014, when it was shot out of the sky over Eastern Ukraine by a missile, claiming the lives of 297 others - including his close friend and fellow Geordie, John Alder, 63.
Three Russian nationals and one Ukranian are currently on trial for murder 'in Abstentia' in the Netherlands after the incident, with a verdict reported to be expected later this year.
