An Australian family has been hit by both Malaysia
Airlines tragedies, having now lost four members in
flight MH370's disappearance and flight MH17's
shooting down over Ukraine.
Kaylene Mann's brother Rod Burrows and sister-in-
law Mary Burrows were on board Flight 370 when it
vanished in March.

And on Friday, Mann found out that her
stepdaughter, Maree Rizk, was killed along with 298
others on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Rizk and her
husband Albert were travelling home from a holiday
in Europe when the plane was shot down.
"It's just brought everyone, everything back," said
Greg Burrows, brother to Kaylene and Rodney. "It's
just ... ripped our guts again."

He said his family was struggling to understand how
they could be struck by such horrible luck on two
separate occasions with the same airline.
"She just lost a brother and now a stepdaughter,
so..." he said of his sister, his voice trailing off.
Rizk and her husband Albert, of Melbourne, were
returning home from a four-week holiday in Europe,
said Phil Lithgow, president of the Sunbury Football
Club, with which the family was heavily involved.
Albert, a real estate agent, was a member of the
club's committee, Maree was a volunteer in the
canteen and their son, James, plays on the club's

"They were very lovely people," Lithgow said. "You
wouldn't hear a bad word about them - very
generous with their time in the community, very
community-minded, and just really very entertaining
people to be with."

A recording of conversations between a man
identified by Ukrainian media as a Russian military
commander and a rebel fighter has emerged this
morning, in which they are reportedly heard
discussing the downing of a jet over eastern Ukraine
shortly after MH17 fell in between Krasni Luch in
Luhansk region and Shakhtarsk in the neighbouring
region of Donetsk.
In one of the calls a man going by the name Bezler
can be heard saying: "Just now a plane was hit and
destroyed by the miners group."
In a post on Russian social media site Vkontake, Igor
Girkin, also known by the nom de guerre Strelkov,
the commander of the pro-Russian Donbass People's
Militia, is reported to have claimed that his forces
shot down a plane in the Donbass region of eastern
Ukraine at 5.50pm (GMT+4), shortly before reports
emerged the passenger jet was missing.

According to a translation obtained by The
Independent, he allegedly wrote: "We warned [sic]
not to fly in our sky."
Kiev has branded the event an "act of terrorism" and
demanded a UN investigation, while Russian
president Vladimir Putin has insisted it would not
have happened if the Ukrainian government had
agreed to a ceasefire.

Nine Britons died in the crash, along with 54 Dutch
passengers, 45 Malaysians, 27 Australians, 12
Indonesians, four Germans, four Belgians, three
Filipinos and one Canadian.
