Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has informed the families of
those missing on flight MH370 that the plane likely crashed in the
Indian Ocean west of Perth.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens
less than an hour after take-off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239
people on board on March 8.
No confirmed sighting of the plane has been made since, but much
debris has been found in remote waters off Australia which might be part
of the missing plane.
Malaysian Airlines said on Monday it was now "beyond any reasonable
doubt" that missing flight MH370 had been lost and there were no
survivors.
"Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of the
passengers and crew to inform them of this development," said the prime
minister.
"For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking; I know this news must be harder still.
"I urge the media to respect their privacy, and to allow them the space they need at this difficult time."
