A Marido told the police that he attacked the two men with a gun, and then buried them in the depths of the woods. In addition, the police found blood on A Marildo's boat and seized a gun.

The Amazon Police also said that they were still looking for a ship they took when Philips and Perrara disappeared. The suspect may press the soil on the ship and sink the ship into the river.

Since the disappearance, Philips and Preira's family have been waiting for the news painfully.

Brazilian President Bosonaro said on June 14 that some people found that human internal organs were drifting in the river, and I am afraid that the two people had a slim life. Police also said that they discovered Philips' backpacks and clothes, as well as Perera's health cards, pants and boots.

It is understood that Philips has lived and worked in Brazil for more than 15 years, and he contributed media contributions to the "Guardian", "Washington Post", "New York Times" and "Financial Times".

Henryk Curry, a friend of Philips, said that Philips' relatives and friends were shocked by his disappearance. "He is a cute and gentle person, and there are many friends in Brazil."

According to Curry, Philips said before disappearing that he hoped to go to the west of Amazon to see, and then showed the world's full picture to the world.

According to reports, wild boar valleys are located in remote jungle areas, and local illegal fishing, felting, mining and drug smuggling activities are rampant. The Washington Post pointed out that Philips' death may be related to local illegal fishing or drug vending.
