Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History and Sporting Witness episodes from the BBC World Service.

We hear about the unearthing of a mass grave in Sernyky, Ukraine, in 1990, and when the Boston Marathon was the target of a terror attack in 2013.

This programme contains distressing details.
