There's a record on FlightAware for VH-YTM departing from YMTG, but nothing for the inbound flight, however it's there data on FlightRadar24 with data derived from ADSB, which suggests (but does not confirm) the flight was VFR. If you look at the track log's heading/speed/altitude readout for the last ten minutes and note the significant fluctuations especially in the heading changes, it suggests the pilot may have been cutting things very fine in conditions totally unsuitable for VFR flight, and possibly beyond the pilots capabilites.
