Ukrainian war crimes investigators exhume the body of Mikhayl Yerchenko from a shallow grave in his own back yard in the village of Malaya Rohan, near Kharkiv, Ukraine, May 18, 2022. Just two days earlier, war crimes investigators came to Lyudmila Yerchenko's home to exhume her husband's body. They're building a case to bring the people who killed him to justice.Mikhayl Yerchenko, 60, was killed when Russian troops aimed their tank cannons at his village.
When Mikhayl died, the shelling was so intense that Lyudmila and her neighbors had to leave him there, alone in the yard for 24 hours. The next day they buried him hastily in a shallow grave. It's hard to describe an exhumation. The smell of death lingers long after you've left the scene. But even worse is the heartbreak.
