Human remains found deep in Brazil's Amazon have been identified as belonging to British journalist Dom Phillips, according to Brazil's federal police.
Federal police officers arrive with recovered human remains believed to be of the Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira of Brazil and freelance reporter Dom Phillips of Britain, at the federal police hangar in Brasília, Brazil on Thursday.
"The confirmation was made based on dental examinations and anthropological forensics," Federal Police said in a statement."Work is ongoing for a complete identification of the remains so we can determine the cause of death, and also the dynamics of the crime and the hiding of the bodies." UNIVAJA, the local Indigenous association for whom Pereira was working, criticized that conclusion. It said in a statement the investigation had not considered the existence of a criminal organization financing illegal fishing and poaching in the Javari Valley Indigenous Territory.
His main adversary in October's election, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said in a statement that the killings"are directly related to the dismantling of public policies of protection to Indigenous peoples."It is also related to the current administration's stimulus to violence," said da Silva, who leads in opinion polls.
