Belgian trawler disappearance: the bodies found are those of two of the crew

The bodies found off the coast of Boulogne-sur-Mer on Thursday (north of France) have been identified as of two of the four crewmen from a missing Belgian trawler. They are a 64 year old Belgian and a 45 year old Dutchman, the Dutch coast-guard revealed. The bodies were recovered from the Channel by French and English rescue crew.

There is still no trace of a 29 year old Dutchman and a 48 year old Portuguese man who were also on board the trawler, which had been missing since Wednesday morning.

The search was called off on Thursday evening at sunset. It will start again on Friday.
