PUTRAJAYA: At the Everly Putrajaya hotel here, the family of aviation engineer Mohd Khairul Amri Selamat could not control their emotions, bursting into tears as they watched the Prime Minister give his statement at the lobby.

Mohd Khairul Amri's father Selamat Omar, who would generally speak to press almost immediately after previous press conferences, told journalists he needed a moment by himself.
