Brazilian police have found human remains in their search for missing British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenous expert Bruno Pereira after a suspect confessed to killing them in the Amazon rainforest and took investigators to where the bodies were buried.
The suspect, a fisherman who had reportedly clashed with Pereira over his efforts to combat illegal fishing in Indigenous territory, led police to a remote burial site where the remains were unearthed, detective Eduardo Fontes told a news conference.
