Oseney da Costa Oliveira Biography
Who is Oseney da Costa Oliveira?
Another man was arrested yesterday after Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenous specialist Bruno Pereira went missing in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest.
Oseney da Costa Oliveira, 41, has been detained in Brazil as the search for the British journalist came to an end after his brother Amarildo da Costa Oliveira was arrested early last week.
The news comes on the same day that Brazil’s ambassador in London had to apologize because his embassy mistakenly told the journalist’s family that the couple, including Pereira, had been found dead.
Amarildo, 41, a fisherman, nicknamed ‘Pelado’, was seen by witnesses in a boat following Phillips and Pereira at high speed before he disappeared.
The local police found traces of blood on their boat that are being analyzed, and personal effects of the two disappeared near the house of ‘Pelado’, who was arrested on June 7 and has denied any involvement.
They also seized firearm cartridges and an oar, but did not say if they were found in the same place or where the last suspect was detained.
Investigation
The search for the couple was drawing to a close on Tuesday as the area left to search gets smaller, a spokesman for the Univaja indigenous group said.
In a statement, police said Oliveira, also known as ‘Dos Santos’, did not resist arrest for ‘alleged aggravated murder’ at his home in Atalaia do Norte, The Guardian was told.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro announced Monday that human remains had been found in the search, saying “something bad” had been done to them.
“The indications are that something bad was done to them,” Bolsonaro said, stating that “human entrails were found floating in the river, which are now undergoing DNA tests.”
But Brazil’s ambassador to the UK, Fred Arruda, apologized to the Philips family.
He went on to say that the embassy had been “deceived” by the information he had received from “investigating officials.”
Family
Arruda wrote to the journalist’s family: “We deeply regret that the embassy transmitted information to the family yesterday that was not correct.
“Thinking about it, there was haste on the part of the multi-agency team, for which I sincerely apologize,” added Arruda, “the search operation will continue, sparing no effort.
Our thoughts are with Dom, Bruno, you and the other members of both families.
On Tuesday, police said they had found personal items belonging to the two men, including Pereira’s health card, pants and boots, as well as Phillips’ backpack and clothing.
Bolsonaro, whose government has faced accusations of not acting urgently enough in the case, said hope is fading with each passing day.
“Because of the time that has passed - eight days now, approaching the ninth - it will be very difficult to find them alive,” the president told CBN Recife radio on Monday. “I pray to God that that happens, but the information and evidence we are receiving suggests otherwise.”
Who is Mr philliphs Wife?
Phillips’ wife, Alessandra Sampaio, also confirmed the finding of the two bodies and niece Dominique Davies told AFP via text message that “two bodies were found” in the search.
Maria Sampaio, Phillips’s mother-in-law, later said that she believed the two men “are no longer with us” and had “given their lives in defense of the rainforest.”
Alessandra Sampaio, who earlier had tearfully pleaded for her husband’s return, reposted the sentiment and said she agreed.
Witness
Witnesses said they saw Pereira and Phillips, a freelance reporter who has written for The Guardian and the Washington Post, traveling down the river last Sunday.
The two men were on an information trip in the remote jungle area near the border with Peru and Colombia, home to the largest number of uncontacted Indians in the world.
The wild and lawless region has attracted gangs of cocaine traffickers, along with illegal loggers, miners and hunters.
News of the couple’s disappearance reverberated around the world, with Brazilian icons from soccer great Pele to singer Caetano Veloso joining politicians, environmentalists and human rights activists in urging President Jair Bolsonaro to step up the search.
Reuters witnesses saw the stretch of riverbank where Mayaruna discovered clothing cordoned off by police on Sunday morning as investigators scoured the area, with half a dozen boats ferrying police, soldiers and firefighters back and forth. .
