A police chief has claimed he knows what happened to missing Malaysian Airlines jet MH370 - leading to fears officials have always known what caused it to disappear.
General Sutarman, the head of the Indonesian Police Force, reportedly made the astonishing claim during a meeting of senior police and airline officials.
Reports say he told the meeting: "I spoke to the Malaysian Police Chief Tun Mohammed Hanif Omar. I actually know what had actually happened with MH370."..MORE..
His comments have led to concerns that officials have always known what caused the plane - which vanished six months ago with 239 passengers and crew on board - to disappear.
As reported by Indonesian news outlet Kompas.com, General Sutarman's comments were witnessed by a number of high-ranking police officers and representatives of Lion Air.
The Inspector General of Police in Malaysia Khalid Abu Bakar has told of his shock over the comments and said he would speak to the Indonesian police chief.
A huge new search for the plane is set to be launched next month which will cost tens of millions of pounds.
The Boeing 777 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it completely disappeared.
So far, the search and rescue team (SAR) has found 58 solid objects in the southern Indian Ocean.
It is hoped they are wreckage from the doomed airliner.
