Four bodies found inside sunken yacht

THE NATION

Two bodies found aboard the sunken yacht were brought to land yesterday, while two more bodies have been located in the capsized vessel, sources told Reuters.

Six people, including the business Mike Lynch and his daughter, are still unaccounted for after the British-flagged Bayesian sank early on Monday off Sicily after it was hit by a ferocious storm.

The identities of the victims found  yesterday are unknown at this stage. One of the bodies belonged to a heavily built man, a source close to rescue operations said, while the second was that of a woman, Italian news agency Adnkronos said.

Two black body bags were brought into the harbour of Porticello near Palermo aboard a fire brigades boat and lifted up on to the quayside.

Divers and specialist rescuers have been searching inside the hull of the sunken yacht since Monday.
