The Malaysian government are murderers

Dozens of relatives descended on Malaysia's embassy in Beijing to demonstrate their fury at the failure to find any hint of the wreckage in 17 days of searching.

They chanted slogans including 'Return our relatives' and 'The Malaysian government are murderers', while fights broke out as security guards tried to stop the demonstrators from talking to reporters.

Some protesters threw water bottles at the building and tried to storm the embassy as they demanded a meeting with the Malaysian ambassador.

They held signs that said 'MH370, Don't let us wait too long!' and '1.3 billion people are waiting to greet the plane'.

The grieving relatives also wore matching T-shirts that read: 'Best of luck to MH370, return home safely.'

No confirmed sighting of the plane has been made since, but debris has been found in remote waters off Australia which might be part of the missing plane.

Officials in charge of the investigation are now working on the theory that the plane was deliberately crashed by one of the people on board, according to the Daily Telegraph.

A source told the paper: 'This has been a deliberate act by someone on board who had to have had the detailed knowledge to do what was done.'

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.

Chinese family members tried to storm the Malaysian embassy in Beijing as they expressed their fury at what they see as the bungled investigation into the flight's whereabouts.

The chief executive of Malaysia Airlines today refused to say whether or not he would resign in the wake of the failure to find the flight, one day after a text was sent to the passengers' families informing them that the plane was almost certainly lost.
