Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: PM says plane's communications 'deliberately disabled' as police raid pilots' homes


“Clearly, the search for MH370 has entered a new phase. Over the last seven days, we have followed every lead and looked into every possibility,” said Najib Razak at a press conference in the Malaysian capital. “For the families and friends of those involved, we hope this new information brings us one step closer to finding the plane.”

Mr Najib said that based on new satellite data investigators were now pursuing the belief that the plane’s last location was along one of two possible corridors - a northern route stretching from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, or a southern one stretching from Indonesia to the southern Indian ocean.

He said while investigators were still investigating all possibilities, he said attention was being refocussed on the possible role of the passengers or crew of the plane. Police on Saturday reportedly raided the homes of the pilot and the co-pilot. Earlier, officials had said they were probing whether some psychological problems or other motivation among someone onboard the plane was the cause of the plane’s disappearance.
