In the days after MH17 came down, unarmed AFP officers were deployed into an active conflict zone patrolled by Russia-backed separatists. Their mission involved recovering the remains of the MH17 victims. What confronted them was a horrifying scene - bodies, personal belongings and children’s toys lay alongside smoking debris as far as the eye could see. As evidence began to be uncovered, the downing of MH17 was looking more like a criminal act... and the crash site had just become the world’s biggest crime scene.
