MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Ukrainian army pilot held on charges of aiding in the killing of two Russian journalists in east Ukraine last year was remanded in custody for a further three months by a Moscow court on Tuesday.

Nadezhda Savchenko, who has been on a hunger strike since Dec. 13, looked visibly thinner than at previous court hearings. She was brought in handcuffed to a metal cage in the courtroom, exclaiming "Glory to Ukraine!".
