Newly found debris, suspected to be that of Malaysian Airlines MH370 has burn marks, suggesting that a fire broke out on the plane before it vanished mysteriously over the Indian Ocean in 2014, according to media reports.

The five peices of the debris discovered by American independent investigator Blaine Gibson were handed over to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in Canberra on Monday, over two-and-a-half years after the plane carrying 239 people, including five Indians, disappeared.

The ATSB has previously analysed several pieces of debris and concluded that four of them were "almost certainly" from the missing plane.

Gibson, has previously found other pieces of the debris of the Boeing 777 that were confirmed to be from MH370, the Guardian reported.

"If they are confirmed as MH370 and if the fire was before the crash, this is significant evidence of what caused the plane's demise," Gibson said.
