Brazilian police are believed to be investigating five suspects in connection with the murders of a British journalist and an indigenous expert.
Human remains thought to be those of Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira were found on Wednesday night, 10 days after the pair went missing in a remote part of the Amazon rainforest.
The discovery came after Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira and his brother Oseney confessed to shooting the men and concealing their remains.
The assailants chased Mr Phillips and Mr Pereira as they travelled by boat on the Itaquai River, deep in the western Brazilian Amazon, police said.
