The wife of murdered Wirral born journalist Dom Phillips said "now we can bring them home and say goodbye with love" after his body was found in the Amazon.
Brazil's justice minister Anderson Torres said remains were found near where Mr Phillips, 57, and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, 41, disappeared on on June 5. Police said a suspect led investigators to the location after confessing to the fatal shooting of the two men.
Alessandra Sampaio, the wife of Bebington -born Mr Phillips, said: “Although we are still awaiting definitive confirmations, this tragic outcome puts an end to the anguish of not knowing Dom and Bruno’s whereabouts. Now we can bring them home and say goodbye with love. Today, we also begin our quest for justice. I hope that the investigations exhaust all possibilities and bring definitive answers on all relevant details as soon as possible.”
