Mum of missing Ukrainian man travels to London only to be told he died in 2020

The mother of a missing Ukrainian man traveled to London to help find him - only to find out he died in 2020. Vira Sokyrka trawled the streets of the capital searching for her son Vasyl.

He had last been seen in Mitcham when he was evicted from his property in South London. Friends had been told that Vasyl may have suffered a head injury and was living among the homeless community.

He was eventually reported missing to police in December 2020 after pals failed to find him. As reported by MyLondon, his loved ones then chased over a hundred leads in their hunt for Vasyl, many coming over from Ukraine.
