The British journalist was travelling in the Amazon with Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira when they went missing
The wife and mother-in-law of the missing British journalist Dom Phillips have said their hopes of finding him alive had gone, in a heartfelt and heart-breaking message that paid tribute to him and his travelling companion Bruno Pereira.
“They are no longer with us,” she wrote on Instagram. “Mother nature has snatched them away with a grateful embrace. The material has been undone and incorporated into the earth they so loved and respected.” Authorities have arrested one man, Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira, who was seen threatening Phillips and Pereira the day before their disappearance.
