'I have to get justice for Martyn': Anger over report into Germanwings Alps air crash which killed Wolverhampton father

It revealed that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was referred to a psychiatric clinic two weeks before he crashed the plane into the French Alps, killing 150 people including Martyn Matthews, of Bushbury, Wolverhampton.

A BEA investigation agency, releasing a report on the March 2015 crash, said multiple doctors who treated Lubitz in the weeks before the crash did not inform authorities of concerns about his mental health.

Because Lubitz did not inform anyone of his doctors' warnings, the BEA said "no action could have been taken by the authorities or his employer to prevent him from flying".

Investigators found that Lubitz intentionally crashed Flight 9525 en route from Barcelona to Duesseldorf.

French air accident bureau BEA has now published its final report on the crash, urging new rules on medical reporting about pilots.

On board was Martyn Matthews, 55, from Bushbury, Wolverhampton. He died, leaving behind his heartbroken wife Sharon. He worked as a senior quality control manager at Huf UK in Tipton.

Wolves fans paid tribute to Mr Matthews, who was a fan of the club and was only on the plane because he couldn't get a direct flight home, during Wolves annual memorial service.

Mrs Matthews was in Cologne on Saturday to hear the report with other families.

She said: "I need to keep fighting because I have to get justice for my husband. I'm still trying to get my head around it."

The other Britons killed were Paul Bramley, a 28-year-old from Hull who was studying hospitality and hotel management at Cesar Ritz College in Lucerne and was about to start an internship, and seven-month-old Julian Pracz-Bandres, from Manchester who had been travelling with his mother, Spanish-born Marina Bandres Lopez-Belio, 37.

Families of the victims had previously been told 27-year-old Lubitz had seen 41 doctors in recent years but under German law none was able to alert his employers to his state of mind.

The BEA said because Lubitz had not informed anyone about the doctors' warnings, "no action could have been taken by the authorities or his employer to prevent him from flying."

Arnaud Desjardin, who led the investigation, said experts found the co-pilot's symptoms at that time "could be compatible with a psychotic episode", but this information had not been communicated to Germanwings.

An interim report last year showed that in 2009, six years before the crash, Lubitz's Class 1 medical certificate was not revalidated due to depression and the fact he was taking medication to treat it.

That same year he got a new certificate, but it came with a notice of special conditions and restrictions. All his medical certificates between then and the crash came with these restrictions, with the final one valid until August 2015.
