"Missing Ukrainian journalist's body found"

Colleagues of a missing Ukrainian journalist, Heorhiy Honhadze, say they've seen his body in a morgue near Kiev.

The journalists were alerted by police questions about some of Mr Honhadze's possessions.

They said the body had been beheaded and burned by acid, but they'd seen personal possessions which confirmed its identity.

The body, which had been buried in a wood, had been found at the beginning of this month.

The journalists said they'd returned with a coffin to take it away, but were told it was no longer at the morgue.

The Ukrainian police responded that there were no new developments in the case.

Mr Honhadze founded a popular Internet newspaper known for its criticism of powerful people.
