The bodies of two men reported missing swimming in the river yesterday afternoon at Awapuni, were found last night.
And a body believed to be of a woman also missing from the Awapuni area of the river last Wednesday, has also been found.
The body of her 11-year-old daughter was recovered on Friday.
Palmerston North Mayor Grant Smith says both families are migrants, and to have two families affected is tragic.
