Police: Slain British journalist, Brazilian colleague shot with hunting ammo – By Don Jacobson (UPI) / June 18, 2022
June 18 (UPI) — British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira were shot to death with hunting ammunition, Brazilian police said Saturday, four days after the missing men’s bodies were recovered.
The Amazonas state office of Brazil’s Federal Police and a government-formed crisis committee investigating the slayings said in a release the pair were killed by gunshot wounds caused by “typical hunting ammunition.”
Pereira’s body was identified through dental records on Friday, police said, a day after Phillips’ remains were similarly identified.
