The search for the three bodies still missing after Saturday's helicopter crash at Lake Nakuru has resumed this morning.
The three are; Sam Gitau, John Mapozi, and Veronica Muthoni.
The body of Captain Apollo Malowa who was flying the chopper was recovered on Monday evening.
Earlier on the same day, the remains of Antony Kipyegon were first to be recovered at around 12.30 pm.
The recovery exercise was postponed at 3 pm on Tuesday due to heavy rains making hard for the operation to continue.
The search is being done by a team of more than 20 divers.
They include officers from Kenya Navy, Kenya Wildlife Services and Kenya Police.

A special team of 10 divers from Mombasa under the umbrella of Sonko rescue team are also taking part.
The divers are hoping to retrieve the bodies and the fuselage of the helicopter.
Five people were on board the ill-fated chopper.
The chopper crashed shortly after taking off from Jarika hotel.
It was reportedly heading to Narok for Jubilee campaigns.
The families and friends of the victims have been camping at the Lakeshores hoping that the search exercise will be successful.
Investigations into the cause of the crash have already commenced.
Chief investigator of aircraft accidents in Martyn Lunani promised to complete investigations within the shortest time possible.
"The second body retrieved on Monday evening of pilot Apollo Malowa was transferred from Umash funeral home to Nairobi for toxicology investigations," Lunani said.
Malowa's remains were retrieved from the water on the eastern side of the lake.

Malowa said that the initial stages of the investigations will zero in on 'perishable' evidence.
"Other investigations will include aircraft licensing, training of the pilot, history of the aircraft company among other things," he told the Star.
The technical officer said that crucial information relating to the aircraft take off and other technical aspects can only be known once recorders fitted in the chopper cockpit are retrieved and decoded.
"Once the information is decoded, the manner in which it's stored determines how viable it can be for investigation purposes," said Lunani.
A debris of the wreckage of the ill-fated aircraft was retrieved from the expansive lake on Sunday.
