A rescue helicopter returns to Whakatane Airport following recovery operations.
It is now believed the two may be in the sea, although divers searching the contaminated waters around the island on Saturday failed to locate one body seen floating in the area several days ago. There are 27 survivors in New Zealand and Australian hospitals, of which 20 are fighting for their lives after the eruption of the desolate island, which is the country’s most active volcano.
Clement said although the land and sea searches had so far been unsuccessful in finding the remaining bodies, police had not given up hope.
