Phillips and Pereira were missing for more than a week after travelling through the Amazon rainforest

A suspect has now confessed to shooting British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira.

The man reportedly took investigators to the site where human remains were dug up with police yet to confirm the identities of the bodies. 

Two suspects have been arrested at this stage, who are allegedly brothers.

Police expect to carry out further arrests, and say the motive for the killings still remains unclear. 

Phillips and Pereira, 41, went missing in a remote part of the Amazon rainforest on June 5. 

Mr Phillips’ wife, says: “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.”

Phillips had lived in Brazil for over a decade and contributed to The Guardian. He was in the Javari Valley working on an environmental protection book, whilst Pereira was serving as a local guide on the journey.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.


Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
