When Malaysia Airlines flight 370 suddenly disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014, in one of the biggest aviation mysteries in history, public scrutiny turned to the aircraft's captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

The last contact with MH370 occurred when it entered Vietnamese airspace in the early hours of March 8, after which the flight changed course.

The Boeing 777 was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at the time of its disappearance.

The event is the subject of a new Netflix documentary titled MH370: The Plane that Disappeared, which examines several theories, including Shah's role in what happened.

Following the aircraft's final communication, it suddenly took a sharp left turn and flew for almost six hours over the Indian Ocean before dropping off radar completely.

One theory that has been touted following the disappearance was that Shah was responsible for a mass murder-suicide.
