International experts in Kharkiv "have processed completely contents of three refrigerator vans," in which remains of those killed in the Malaysian plane crash in the Donetsk region on July 17 were brought, Ukrainian State Emergency Service Chief Serhiy Bochkovsky said at a briefing on July 24.
“Experts have started work on the last, fourth van. As of 6 p.m.
today, experts have processed 182 bags with bodies and body fragments of
those killed in the Boeing-777 crash,” Bochkovsky said.
Four planes with 114 coffins on board were sent to the Netherlands on July 22 and July 23, he said.
Experts will be able to complete the work on preparing and sending bodies not later than Friday evening, Bochkovsky said.
“We will hope and will do everything for this,” he said.
At the same time, Bochkovsky failed to elaborate whether all bodies
were found and whether it was necessary to hold one more expedition of
State Emergency Service employees to the crash site.
“We will be able to understand this after complete identification of
the bodies ends in the Netherlands. Then it will become clear whether we
found everyone,” he said.
