On 5 June 2022, Brazilian indigenist Bruno Pereira and British journalist Dom Phillips were murdered during a boat trip through the Vale do Javari, the second-largest indigenous area in Brazil.[1][2]
Two men who were brothers were arrested by the Federal Police of Brazil for suspected involvement in the murders. A few days later, one of them confessed to the murders, telling the police where he had buried the bodies[3] as well as the location of the boat they used.[4] The forensics investigation concluded with the identification of the bodies on 22 June.[5] Philips' body was cremated in Niteroi in a ceremony reserved for family and close friends.[6] Pereira's body was cremated in the city of Paulista in a ceremony that included indigenous rituals.[7]
