The bank cards of a British victim of the MH17 atrocity were looted from the wreckage of the downed jet liner and used fraudulently until his family cancelled them. Cameron Dalziel's relatives say the "cruel" crime was the "final insult" after his death.

Dalziel was a 43-year-old father of two with dual South African and British nationality who worked as a rescue helicopter pilot. His brother Shane Hattingh said the cards appear to have been taken from the crash site and used in recent days, reports The Times.
