Blood traces found on a boat belonging to a fisherman, who has been arrested, are also being tested. Another boat belonging to the suspect was also discovered in the past 24 hours.

Both men have been threatened, according to indigenous groups, for their work in the region, which has experienced illicit fishing, forestry, mining, and drug trafficking.

Mr Pereira, 41, and Mr Phillips, 57, who has written for the Guardian and the Washington Post, are both seasoned travellers who meticulously planned their excursions. They had a new boat and lots of gasoline, according to reports.
