As families in Beijing struggle to come to terms with the loss of their loved ones on-board MH370, the Malaysian government has come under a fresh round of attacks – this time, it is being accused of killing the passengers, The Guardian reported.
The report said that shortly after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that MH370 "ended" in the Indian Ocean last night, angry Chinese families in Beijing made a condemning statement against Malaysia.
The Guardian reported that the families had alleged that the Malaysian government and its military had "continually and extremely delayed, hidden and covered the facts, and attempted to deceive the passengers' relatives and people all over the world".
"That had not only devastated relatives but misled, delayed the research and rescue, wasted a lot of man power and material resources, and we lost the most valuable rescue opportunity.
"If our 154 relatives lost their lives because if it, Malaysia Airlines, the Malaysian government and the Malaysian military are their killers," the families said in a statement quoted by The Guardian.
The news that the plane had crashed and that there was no possibility of survivors was badly received by the families in Beijing after 17 days of hope.
News reports said that the relatives in Beijing shrieked and cried uncontrollably, and many grieving relatives had to be held up by their loved ones as the heartbreaking news was delivered to them in a hotel near the airport.
