A Dutch father whose only daughter died in the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 incident along with 297 others cries for justice, blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin "for murdering my loved and only child."

Hans de Borst, in an open letter to Putin, said his life was ruined after the death of his 17-year-old daughter Elsemiek, onboard the ill-fated Boeing 777 plane believed was shot down by pro-Russian separatists in Torez, near Grabovo in Donetsk region, Ukraine on Thursday.

"Thank you very much mister Putin, leaders of the separatists of the Ukraine government, for murdering my loved and only child, Elsemiek de Borst!" he said in his Facebook page.

He said Elsemek was on her way to Malaysia for vacation with her mother, stepfather and little brother on the time of the incident 

Her dreams died along with her, he said.

Hans recalled how well her daughter performed at school in The Hague, where she would be finishing her final school exam next year. She said Elsemek wanted to go to Delft University of Technology to study engineering.

"But suddenly she is not here anymore! She has been shot out of the sky, in an unknown country, where there is a war going on!" he said.

He asked Putin to cooperate with the investigation conducted by several countries and to secure the crash site, a rebel-held where separatists fight with Ukrainian government forces seeking referendum to join Russia.

Meanwhile, Anthony Maslin, father of three Australian children who were killed on Flight 17, has taken indefinite leave from his job as head of Buxton Resources, New Zeland Herald reported.

Maslin and his wife Rin returned to Perth on the weekend from Amsterdam to pay tribute to children Mo, 12, Evie, 10 and Otis, eight, who was travelling with their grandfather Nick Norris to return to Australia for the start of school this week.

These are among the stories of grieving parents whose children died in the ill-fated plane. Malaysian authorities said at least 80 of the victims were children.

As this developed, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the train carrying the bodies of the passengers has arrived in government-held Kharkiv. The bodies, majority were Dutch, will then be transported to Netherlands for identification.

Senior separatist leader Aleksander Borodai has also handed over the black boxes to authorities, which could shed light on what happened to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 amid international calls for the concerned parties to cooperate with the probe of the world's worst aviation incident in recent history.
