Image emerges of Russian militiaman rifling through MH17 wreckage

A photograph, widely circulating on social media, is purported to show a Russian separatist fighter stealing a ring from a victim of the MH17 crash.

In the picture, which has not been independently verified, three rebels wearing military uniforms appear to be rifling through the plane wreckage.

In the photo, a blonde-haired fighter, wearing a black beret, is bent over what looks like wreckage and apparently holding what seems to be a gold ring.
