Relatives of the passengers killed on board missing flight MH370 today staged furious protests after receiving the news that there were no survivors on board the Malaysian Airlines plane.

Chinese family members tried to storm the Malaysian embassy in Beijing as they expressed their fury at what they see as the bungled investigation into the flight's whereabouts.

The chief executive of Malaysia Airlines today refused to say whether or not he would resign in the wake of the failure to find the flight, one day after a text was sent to the passengers' families informing them that the plane was almost certainly lost.

But bad weather will delay the search for wreckage at least another day, as the Australian authorities suspended today's air and sea search operations due to adverse conditions.

  

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after take-off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8.

No confirmed sighting of the plane has been made since, but debris has been found in remote waters off Australia which might be part of the missing plane.

Officials in charge of the investigation are now working on the theory that the plane was deliberately crashed by one of the people on board, according to the Daily Telegraph.

A source told the paper: 'This has been a deliberate act by someone on board who had to have had the detailed knowledge to do what was done.'
  
      
They held signs that said 'MH370, Don't let us wait too long!' and '1.3 billion people are waiting to greet the plane'.

The grieving relatives also wore matching T-shirts that read: 'Best of luck to MH370, return home safely.'

A group which claimed to represent passengers' families issued a statement describing the Malaysian airline, government and military as 'executioners'.

The Malaysia Airlines MH370 Family Committee wrote: 'We will take every possible means to pursue the unforgivable crimes and responsibility of all three.'
   
However, despite the failure of the investigation officials from Malaysian Airlines today defended the probe and insisted they had treated the victims sensitively.

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya declined to say whether or not he would resign - saying that it would be a 'personal choice'.

He pledged the airline's full support to both the families of the lost passengers and the ongoing investigation into the plane's disappearance.
