Debris found on the island of Reunion may not be from the missing MH370, according to a parts manufacturer of the Boeing 777. An update by CNN on Monday reports that the Spanish company contradicts the statement of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who have commented that the debris found is a piece of the plane, which disappeared on March 2014 with more than 200 passengers onboard.

"It is my hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people on board MH370," Prime Minister Razak has stated.

The Prime Minister has also said that "an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370."

Although MH370 is a Boeing 777, this does not guarantee that the debris found last July 29 in the Indian Ocean is from the Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. A French prosecutor also supports the stand of the Spain-based company.

Paris Deputy Prosecutor Serge Mackowiak says he has "very strong presumptions" that the debris does not belong to the Malaysian plane. He adds that they will undergo investigation to come up with a conclusive result.

The two contradicting statements from the Prime Minister and French prosecutor have left the passengers' family members puzzled and confused.

"I was left somewhat confused and, frankly, a little angry and dismayed," K.S. Narendran says. His wife was one of the passengers of the missing MH370.

"I didn't hear facts. I didn't hear the basics. I heard nothing and so it leaves me wondering whether there is a foregone conclusion and everyone is racing for the finish."

On March 8, 2014, the final words heard from the Malaysian plane were, "Good night Malaysian three-seven-zero," before the air traffic lost contact.
