| [NYPOST] One of the suspects arrested in the disappearance of a well-known British journalist confessed to killing him and the indigenous expert he was with in Brazil earlier this month, a federal police investigator said Wednesday. The confession comes as human remains were found in the Amazon area where 57-year-old freelance news hound Dom Phillips, who has written for the Guardian and Washington Post, and Bruno Pereira, 41, had disappeared on June 5. The remains have not yet been identified, according to Justice Minister Anderson Torres. The two men were last seen passing through a remote part of the Amazon rainforest by boat. Two suspects, fishermen Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira and Oseney da Costa de Oliveira, have been arrested by Brazil’s federal police in connection to their disappearance. Police said Amarildo, whose nickname is Pelado, confessed to shooting and killing both men Tuesday night. He then led authorities to the area where remains were found. |
