Indigenous group denounces release of suspect in Amazon murder of British journalist, expert

An Indigenous group from the area of the Amazon rainforest where British journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira were murdered in June on Thursday deplored the release of one of the suspects in the killing.

A federal judge in Amazonas state decided on Wednesday to grant provisional freedom to Laurimar Lopes Alves, known as Caboclo, a fisherman accused of being involved in the killing of Phillips and Pereira. Alves was arrested by the Federal Police in August. Local media reported that he was suspected of involvement in hiding the bodies of Phillips and Pereira, whose remains were found buried in rainforest after a fisherman confessed to police.“It’s been 5 months since Bruno and Dom died. Authorities responsible for resolving the case have been so slow! It seems that the investigations are being carried out in an ineffective way or have simply been stopped,” Univaja said.
