The police made the discovery while searching Lubitz’s home on the outskirts of Dusseldorf.
German police say they may have made a ‘significant’ discovery at the home of Andreas Lubitz that may offer a ‘clue’ as to what happened on the Germanwings flight that crashed and killed 150 people in the French Alps on Tuesday.
Lubitz was the co-pilot on the Airbus that crashed on the way from Barcelona to Dusseldorf on Tuesday morning in what French prosecutors say was a deliberate act on Lubitz’s part.
German police took away a number of items from Lubitz’s flat in Montabaur, on the outskirts of Dusseldorf, yesterday and said that they had made a ‘significant’ discovery that may provide a clue as to what exactly happened on board the aircraft.
Police did not confirm exactly what they had found, but they did clarify that it wasn’t a suicide note.
“We have found something which will now be taken for tests,” Markus Niesczery from Dusseldorf Police told the Daily Mail.
“We cannot say what it is at the moment but it may be very significant clue to what has happened.
“We hope it may give some explanations.”
