SCHIPHOL, Netherlands (AP) —  Dutch prosecutors have demanded life sentences against four suspects in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014. Prosecutors say the four recklessly used a Russian missile to bring down the passenger jet. All 298 passengers and crew were killed. Public prosecutor Manon Ridderbeks made the sentence demand Wednesday at the end of a three-day presentation of evidence. The suspects are being tried in absentia.
