It came amid reports that a key witness described to detectives who heard lightning in the same area.

Local television station Band News, citing federal police sources, said the suspects ambushed the river and killed them before dismembering the bodies, burning them and throwing them into a ditch.

The reports could not be independently verified.

Federal police in Atalaia do Norte have not yet commented on the reported confession.

A spokesman for the Union of Indigenous Peoples of the Javari Valley (Univaja), the group that led the search for the couple’s disappearance last Sunday, told The Telegraph it was “too early to confirm” the recognition reports.

‘Pirates in the river’

Reports point to a sad conclusion to a case that has sparked global concern, as activists have previously pressured Jair Bolsonara, Brazil’s president, to do more to help with the search, and Boris Johnson expressed concern in parliament on Wednesday.

Mr Phillips, a former contributor to the Washington Post and The Guardian, and Mr Pereira, a former Indigenous Rights Officer in Brazil, were on a research trip for a book entitled How to Save the Amazon When They Disappeared.

Mr Bolsonaro, who faced a tough question from Mr Phillips last year about his environmental record, expressed an unsympathetic tone on Wednesday when he indicated that the British journalist’s removal was “reckless”.
