The bodies of two brothers have been recovered from a river a day after they went missing while swimming.

Kevin George Jr, 21, and his brother Zion George, 20, were dragged into Murderkill River in Kent County, Delaware, after taking a dip in a nearby lake on Tuesday afternoon.

The pair, from Philadelphia and Tennessee, respectively, had travelled to South Bowers Beach with two friends - one of whom had also joined them for a swim.
