The pilot of doomed Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, one of the greatest aviation mysteries in history, has long been suspected of mass murder and suicide, according to former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.

The Boeing plane carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared in March 2014, presumably crashing in the southern Indian Ocean. A 2018 safety report by an international team said the plane likely was steered off course deliberately and flown for hours after the plane cut communications.
