The captain of the South Korean ferry that capsized killing more than 280 passengers has been charged with manslaughter.
Two navigators and a chief engineer have been charged with the same offence - and if convicted all four could face the death penalty.
They are accused of leaving the ship as it was sinking while telling passengers, mostly high school students, to stay where they were.
Prosecutors have also charged 11 other surviving crew members of the Sewol with negligence.
Coastguard spokesman Ko Myung-Suk said a further five bodies were retrieved on Wednesday, including one found floating on the surface.
The confirmed death toll now stands at 281, with 23 still missing.
The Sewol was carrying 476 people when it sank on April 16.
The crew has been under criminal investigations after they were reported to have escaped the sinking vessel before many of the passengers.
