RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian police have interviewed two people among the last to have seen a British journalist and indigenous expert who went missing in a remote and lawless part of the Amazon jungle, the federal police said in a statement on Tuesday.

The federal police identified the two people late on Monday and took them to be interviewed at a civil police station in the riverside community of Atalaia do Norte, near where freelance journalist Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira, a former senior official with federal indigenous agency Funai, went missing.
