		</div><p>An Australian couple whose three children were killed in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine two years ago have welcomed a new baby, saying the birth has given them faith that love trumps hate.</p>
<p>Anthony Maslin and Marite Norris, of the western Australian city of Perth, said the arrival of their daughter Violet May Maslin, on Tuesday, had brought them &#8220;love and light, hope and joy&#8221; after enduring two years of grief over the loss of their three children.</p>
<p>Mo, 12, Evie, 10, and Otis, eight, died with their grandfather, Nick Norris, when Flight 17 was shot down by a missile over eastern Ukraine in July 2014. The children were travelling with their grandfather from Amsterdam back to Australia.</p>
<p>At the time, the couple said they were living in an &#8220;ongoing hell&#8221;, with the pain they felt unfathomable.</p>
<p>In a statement on Thursday from the Australian foreign affairs department, the couple said they believe Violet is a gift sent by Evie, Mo, Otis and Nick.</p>
<p>&#8220;Violet&#8217;s birth is a testament to our belief that love is stronger than hate,&#8221; the couple wrote. &#8220;We still live with pain, but Violet, and the knowledge that all four kids are with us always, brings light to our darkness. As Martin Luther King said, &#8216;Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>A Dutch civil investigation concluded that the plane was downed by a Soviet-designed Buk surface-to-air missile. All 298 people on board died.</p>
<p>Maslin and Norris said they would continue to love all four of their children equally.</p>
<p>&#8220;Violet brings some hope and joy for us,&#8221; the couple wrote. &#8220;We hope she brings hope and joy for you too.&#8221;</p>
