Australian officials will announce a new search zone for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on Wednesday, amid reports that captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah is now the primary suspect in the plane’s disappearance.
According to CNN, The Australian Transport Safety Bureau have re-evaluated satellite data and will move the search zone several hundred kilometers south of where it is currently trawling.
Since the flight went missing in March with 239 people aboard, search efforts have found no sign of the plane or its passengers.
The Sunday Times today reported that Malaysian police have identified captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah as the primary suspect in the plane’s disappearance, but that they have not ruled out terrorism or mechanical errors in the evidence.
According to The Sunday Times’ report, Shah had reportedly plotted and deleted flight paths to small runways across the Indian Ocean on a flight simulator at his home.
