Wellington, New Zealand:
Search teams returned to New Zealand’s volcanic White Island on Sunday but there was no sign of two bodies still unaccounted for after last week’s eruption, as police released the names of four more victims.
Of the 47 people on the island — a popular tourist attraction — when the explosion took place, the death count stands at 17 including the missing pair.
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.
“The rescue teams are frustrated. We understand completely how frustrating it is for loved ones who want the bodies back,” deputy police commissioner Mike Clement said when the land search party of eight police officers returned to the mainland.
