Brazilian police Detective Eduardo Fontes says a suspect has confessed to shooting British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira.

Fontes said the man, Amarildo Da Costa De Oliveira, took investigators to a site where human remains were dug up, adding that they would work with Interpol to confirm the bodies’ identities.

Two suspects, brothers Amarildo and Oseney Da Costa De Oliveira, have been arrested in connection with the case.

Fontes told newsmen the first suspect Amarildo had recounted in detail the crime that was committed and indicated the place where he buried the bodies, but his brother denied any involvement.
