An international team has suspended its criminal probe into the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine.

It comes nearly three months after a Dutch court convicted two Russians and a Ukrainian rebel for their roles in shooting down the Boeing 777 and killing all 298 people on board on July 17 2014.
