Bagshaw and his British colleague Chris Parry disappeared while attempting to rescue an elderly woman stuck on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine.
His family were told the pair were accidentally killed in Russian artillery shelling - but a later autopsy would reveal bullet wounds in both men's heads.
The range of the shot cannot be determined.
Speaking to 1News' Sunday, Andrew's father Dr Philip Bagshaw says if proven as a war crime, it must go to the International Criminal Court, and Russia be held accountable.
