Baby joy for Australian couple whose three children died on flight MH17

An Australian couple whose three children were killed in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine two years ago have welcomed a new baby, saying the birth has given them faith that love trumps hate.

Anthony Maslin and Marite Norris, of the western Australian city of Perth, said the arrival of their daughter Violet May Maslin, on Tuesday, had brought them "love and light, hope and joy" after enduring two years of grief over the loss of their three children.
