Indigenous communities were celebrated at the Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí on Sunday evening.

The British journalist was killed along with an Brazilian indigenous expert in the Amazon last year.

The former head of Brazil's Indigenous protection agency is accused of indirectly playing a part in journalist's death.

A UK journalist and local expert were killed in the Amazon jungle while probing illegal fishing.

The men were killed in Brazil's Amazon earlier this month while returning from an expedition.

Three suspects have already been arrested by police in connection with the murders of the two men.

People in Sao Paulo took to the streets to condemn the killings and criticise the authorities.

A third suspect has been arrested after the deaths of Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira.
