Malaysia saw MH370 as murder-suicide, says former Australia leader

Malaysia’s top leadership considered from the outset the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in 2014 a mass murder-suicide by the pilot, according to Tony Abbott, who was Australia’s PM at the time. “My very clear understanding from the very top levels of the Malaysian govt is that from very, very early on here they thought it was a murder-suicide by the pilot,” Abbott said in a clip from a documentary airing Wednesday on Sky News. Abbott declined to name any individuals to support his claim. Najib Razak was Malaysia’s PM when the plane went missing. Official inquiries into the tragedy failed to offer a technical explanation for the plane’s disappearance, or explicitly blame the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah. <br/>
