TRAGIC: An Entire Family of Six Killed in MH17 Plane Disaster

An entire family of six that had been returning home after three years living abroad was among the 44 Malaysians killed in the MH17 disaster, CNN reports.

Tambi Jiee, 49, and his wife Ariza Ghazalee, 46, perished along with their four children when the Malaysia Airlines flight went down in eastern Ukraine.

According to New Vision, they were reportedly returning to Malaysia after her husband's three-year posting in Kazakhstan for energy giant Shell, first taking a short European holiday.

Ariza had posted a photo on Facebook showing the family's luggage as they prepared to embark from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport for the flight to Kuala Lumpur.

"17 July 2014, starting our new hijrah (journey), Alhamdulillah (praise God)," read the accompanying message.




The Boeing 777 was shot down on Thursday over a separatist-held region of Ukraine killing all 298 passengers and crew onboard, a possible casualty of the Kiev government's battle with pro-Russia rebels.

The disaster has deeply shocked Malaysia, which is still grappling with the trauma of the March 8 disappearance of MH370 with 239 passengers and crew aboard, including 38 Malaysians.

No trace of the MH370 plane has been found, a mystery that has severely damaged Malaysia's image abroad and left furious passengers' relatives deeply anguished and demanding answers.
