Germanwings co-pilot treated for ‘suicidal tendencies’
German prosecutors have said the co-pilot of the downed Germanwings passenger plane had received treatment in the past for suicidal tendencies, before becoming a pilot.
German prosecutors said on Monday that Andreas Lubitz, who has been blamed for last week’s crash of a Germanwings passenger jet, had received psychotherapy treatment for suicidal tendencies before he became a pilot.
