More than eight years since flight MH17 was shot down, a court in the Netherlands will this week deliver a verdict in the trial of three Russian men and one Ukrainian accused of murdering the 298 people on board, including 38 Australians. 
The Malaysia Airlines plane was hit by a missile as it flew above eastern Ukraine in 2014, when Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed separatists were engaged in intense fighting. 
A number of Australian families will travel to Amsterdam to witness the court proceedings. 
Today, we speak to two of them.
