Three siblings on board the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines jet shot down over the Ukraine grew up in Hong Kong and were much-loved students at the Australian International School.
Three siblings on board the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines jet shot down over the Ukraine grew up in Hong Kong and were much-loved students at the Australian International School.
The three Maslin children – Mo, 12, Evie, 10 and Otis, 8 – had all attended the Kowloon Tong school for several years before returning to Western Australia.
Their parents – Anthony Maslin and Marite Norris – penned an open letter on Thursday, describing the unspeakable grief of losing their three children.
“Our pain is intense and relentless. We live in a hell beyond hell,” the letter reads.
“Our babies are not here with us – we need to live with this act of horror, every day and every moment for the rest of our lives.”
The father, managing director of Perth-based mining company Buxton Resources, took “indefinite leave” from his position earlier this week.
The children’s grandfather, Nick Norris, also died when the Malaysia Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was shot down by a surface-to-air missile last Thursday while flying over eastern Ukraine.
