MH370: Pilot identified chief suspect in plane's disappearance

The pilot of the missing Malaysia flight MH370 has reportedly been identified as the prime suspect following official investigation into the disappearance of the jet.

According to News.com.au, the pilot, Captain Zaharie Shah, became the focus of the special investigation in Malaysia after all other passengers were cleared of any suspicious motives.

Investigators reported strange behavior on the part of the pilot after conducting 170 interviews.

It has been revealed that Shah's home flight simulator was programmed with a flight path into the depths of the Southern Ocean before landing the plane on an island with a small runway.

While the drills were deleted from the computer, the files were retrieved by investigators, raising more suspicions about the possible involvement of Shah in the disappearance of the plane.

The Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared on March 8.
