THE HAGUE: The trial of four men accused of murder over the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in Ukraine in 2014 will be adjourned until Jun 8 to give defence lawyers more time to prepare, judges at the hearing in the Netherlands ruled on Monday.

Prosecutors say the four men helped to arrange the Russian missile system used to shoot down MH17, a civilian aircraft, killing all onboard. Most of those killed were Dutch. Pulatov's lawyers argued at the opening of the case on March 9 that they needed more time to read through all the court documents. On Monday, the Dutch judges agreed with them."The court suspends the examination of the Pulatov case until June 8th, 10 a.m., and the defence will be able to speak at that time," presiding judge Hendrik Steenhuis said.
