Malaysian police dismiss MH370 ‘pilot murder-suicide’ claim

Malaysian police have dismissed media reports that say missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was deliberately steered into the sea by a pilot intent on mass murder suicide. Friday, New York magazine published an article based upon what it claims is a leaked investigation document, allegedly showing captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah had “conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean” on his home flight simulator less than a month before MH370 vanished. The route and destination of the simulated flight was similar to the route investigators believe the plane took. However, Malaysian police inspector-general Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar told local media Saturday that no information had been passed onto investigators in the US, where the magazine said it obtained the document. “This report is not true.” <br/>
