The father of the Germanwings co-pilot accused of crashing a plane and killing all on board has issued a statement questioning whether his son was responsible.
His statement, made at a press conference on the second anniversary of the tragedy last Friday, has upset families of the victims.
All 150 passengers and crew on board the flight were killed when it crashed into the Alps in March 2015.
German prosecutors concluded in January that Andreas Lubitz, 27, was suicidal and had deliberately flown the plane into the mountains.
But in his first public statement since the incident, the co-pilot’s father Guenter Lubitz said his son was not depressed and that he has hired his own investigator to get to the truth of what happened.
