Andreas Günter Lubitz (left) locked his captain out of the cockpit (bottom right) before ploughing the Airbus A320 into the French Alps at more than 400mph.
The chilling final moments of the doomed jet were revealed today by French prosecutors who said Lubitz's sole aim was to 'destroy the plane' killing all 150 people on board. It has since emerged the 28-year-old was forced to postpone his pilot training in 2008 because of mental health problems, with a friend saying he was 'in depression'. The revelation will form a central part of the investigation and raises serious questions about why he was allowed to pilot a commercial jet. Meanwhile, German detectives (top right) raided the £400,000 home in Montabaur that Lubitz is understood to have shared with his parents, who are expected to be questioned by police. His mother, a piano teacher, and father, a successful businessman, only discovered their son was a mass murderer just minutes before the bombshell press conference by prosecutors in Marseille.
