Hopes of finding the bodies of the 52-year-old Skipper Michael Hayes and 23-year-old crewman Said Mohammed received a boost yesterday when divers recovered the body of Wael Mohammed.

He is the third of the crewmen to be recovered after the vessel sank more than a week ago.

A postmortem on Wael Mohammed's remains will be carried out at Cork University Hospital.
