The bodies from the massacre came in black plastic bags, 23 of them laid out in neat rows, victims of an attack on a convoy by Russian forces. The smaller ones were of the 13 children who had been killed in the shelling.
A pregnant woman and two elderly couples were also among those who died on a route leading out of Kupyansk. Some had been burned to death in their cars; others had attempted to crawl to safety on the road, but had not survived their horrific injuries.
