Show Notes

In 2014, flight MH17 was shot down, and 298 people died. A set of Australian experts were sent to investigate and assist. In the aftermath, victim identification is crucial in not only determining the identity of someone who has died, but also in the matter of a criminal investigation, the cause of death. 

Professor David Ranson is a forensic consultant and the former Deputy Head of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine. In 2014, David was one of the forensic experts sent to Ukraine to assist in the forensic management of the shooting down of MH17. In conversation with former Crime Insiders Forensics host, Kathryn Fox, understand the role that David played, and go into the detail of what an investigation of that size and political significance involves.
