The grim wait is over: relatives told Malaysian flight lost in Indian Ocean

Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur that a new analysis by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch and tracking firm Inmarsat had revealed that MH370's last position was in the ocean west of Perth.

"This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites," he said. "It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that according to this new data Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

He added that Malaysia Airlines had already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of the latest development.

"For them the past few weeks have been heart-breaking. I know this news must be harder still," he said.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: 'Was the Ambassador Talking out of his A**e?' ask Chinese Relatives

The relatives, especially the Chinese, are increasingly frustrated with the Malaysian authorities over their handling of the vanished jetliner debacle.

Following the latest press conference by Malaysia's transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein in Kuala Lumpur, in which he announced that new satellite findings have discovered 122 objects at the suspected crash site, furious relatives have yet again poured scorn on Kuala Lumpur authorities in the Beijing hotel where they have been staying.

"All the things that were promised, we have received nothing. Was the ambassador talking out of the other end of his body? Was he talking out of his arse?" asked a relative to general applause from others, who were equally angry at the authorities over the withdrawal of certain facilities provided to them for the past few days.

During the press conference, Hussein reiterated: "For the Chinese families...they must also understand. We in Malaysia also lost our loved ones. There are so many other nations who have lost loved ones."
