Linda Urey said she had begged for the Russian-backed separatists to give her son back and branded them 'murderers'
The mother of a Lancashire aid volunteer who has reportedly died while being detained by Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine has expressed her anger.
She said she had begged for the separatists to give her son back and branded them “murderers”, asking: “Why did you let him die?” In a post, she said her son had been taken from her at birth and, after finding her, he had been taken from her again.“Cruel cruel world,” she added. Speaking at the time of his capture, Ms Urey told Sky News she had begged her son not to go to Ukraine.
Daria Morozova, the human rights ombudsperson for the Moscow-backed separatist leadership in Donetsk, said Mr Urey, who was branded a British “mercenary”, died in captivity on Sunday of chronic illnesses and stress. She added: "From our side, he was given the necessary medical assistance despite the grave crimes he committed."
In April, the Presidium Network, a non-profit group, said Mr Urey and Dylan Healey had been captured at a checkpoint south of the city of Zaporizhzhia in south-east Ukraine.
