Officials confirmed missing plane was hijacked
- Both captain and co-pilot are now said to be under investigation.
A Malaysian government official said people with significant flying experience could have turned off the flight's communication devices.
The last known position of MH370 was pinpointed as it headed east over Peninsular Malaysia. Radar pings then suggest the plane could have then taken two paths along 'corridors' which are currently being searched,
The representative said that hijacking theory was now 'conclusive', and, as a result, police have raided the luxury homes of both the captain Zahari Ahmad Shah, 53 (left) and the co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27 (right)
Both pilots live in the upmarket Kuala Lumpur district of Laman Seri, about an hour's drive from the city centre.
A team of search specialists entered Shah's house and spent two hours searching for signs of foul play, before moving into search the co-pilot's home a short distance away.
They revealed one had home-made flight simulator...could it be the sign of foul play? what do you think?
Countries in the plane's potential flightpath have now joined a huge diplomatic effort to locate the missing passengers.
The plane's communication system was switched off as it headed west over the Malaysian seaboard and could have flown for another seven hours on its fuel reserves.
It is not yet clear where the plane could have been taken, however, Malaysian Prime Minister said the most recent satellite data suggests the plane could have headed to one of two possible flight corridors.
U.S. investigators have not ruled out the possibility that the passengers are being held at an unknown location and suggest that faint 'pings' were being transmitted for several hours after the flight lost contact with the ground.
NASA has also joined the international search operation, analysing satellite data and images that have already been gathered.
