TWO bodies found at sea this morning have been identified.
They are those of Mircea Ilie and Irinel Popovici, two men who were missing after a boat collision near the Rampion Windfarm last weekend.
The men were night fishing with two other friends when they were hit by a larger vessel.
Sussex Police released the identification of the pair after the men's families were notified this afternoon.
Mr Ilie, a 40-year-old father of four, ran the Mitch and Grandad's Bike Shop in Elm Grove.
His brother-in-law, Mr Popovici, 41, of Barcombe Road, leaves behind three children aged five, 15 and 17.
Shoreham's RNLI lifeboat was launched to reports of a body floating in the sea.
Whilst they recovered one body, they spotted a second.
