The body of Lancaster journalist Dom Phillips has been returned to his family in Brazil. He and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira were killed earlier this month while returning from an expedition in the Amazon.
The country's vice-president said that Dom, 58, was killed as "collateral damage" during a "drunken" attack on his travel partner Bruno, 41. They had embarked on the trip - Dom from his home of Salvador, where he lived with his wife, and Bruno from Sao Paulo - to undertake research for a book.
The pair had gone missing on June 5 while after travelling by boat through the Javari Valley, on a remote stretch of the Itaquai River in northeastern Brazil. An extensive police search led to the discovery of their bodies ten days later.
