The National Institute of Criminalistics of the Federal Police (PF) will deliver, this Thursday (23), to their families, the bodies of indigenist Bruno Araújo Pereira and British journalist Dom Phillips. The plane will take off from Brasília airport at 2 pm.
The work of the experts will continue in the coming days, focusing on the analysis of different traces of the case.
According to PF sources, the third suspect arrested, Jefferson Lima da Silva, told authorities that he and fisherman Amarildo da Costa Oliveira were responsible for shooting the victims. According to him, Pereira even greeted Amarildo minutes before the murder. Shortly afterwards, the indigenist saw the suspect’s boat and instructed the journalist to photograph it – which would have angered the fisherman.
The expertise has already identified that Bruno was hit by three shots and Dom by one.
After identifying the bodies, the police also located the boat in which the pair were traveling and which was sunk by the killers.
On Friday (17) and Saturday (18), investigators confirmed that the remains found in the forest were those of Dom and Bruno.
