Two bodies recovered from the wreckage of the sunken Bayesian yacht are those of Mike Lynch and his teenage daughter Hannah, the Italian authorities believe.

Sicily civil protection director-general Salvo Cocina told The Telegraph that two other bodies have been found and are now being recovered by divers.

Mr Cocina added: “On behalf of myself and my colleagues, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the families of the victims and express our condolences to them at this difficult time”.

Diving teams were seen this afternoon taking a green body bag back to the port of Porticello where dozens of emergency services staff were waiting.

They are the second and third victims of the shipwreck to be found after the remains of the yacht’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, was located shortly after the vessel sank.

The bodies were found inside one of the vessels cabins between two mattresses.
