Dom Phillips And Bruno Pereira: Murder Charge Dropped Against One Suspect

"Activists greet decision over killings of British journalist and Brazilian Indigenous expert with ‘indignation’"

"Appeal judges in Brazil yesterday upheld charges against only two of the three men accused of murdering Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips, in a decision “received with indignation” by Indigenous activists.

The three judges ruled that there was “insufficient evidence of authorship or participation” by Oseney da Costa de Oliveira, a fisher, in the 2022 deaths of the Brazilian Indigenous expert and the British Guardian journalist.

However, the charges against the other two accused – fellow fisher Amarildo da Costa de Oliveira (Oseney’s brother) and Jefferson da Silva Lima (also known as Pelado da Dinha) – were upheld, and they will face a jury trial."
