Dominic's father Bernard and my mother Angela were brother and sister (Bernard has since passed away).

Please join me in hoping for Dom's safe return home. Thanks to all. xxx

Praying for good news for you all and the safe return of 2 very brave men x

Thank you again for all your kind words and thoughts. 💕 As of yet there is no further news of Dominic and Bruno; it all feels so surreal and like a bad dream, and we can only continue to hope and pray for them to turn up safe. 😢 🙏

I hope your family and Bruno's family receive news soon, the waiting must be awful. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I hope he is found, if your the person in the paper from Lancaster your not far from us.

Hi Groaner, no, I live in Glasgow with my husband and family now, but my mother's family hail from Tranmere in Birkenhead. My mother is Angela Carr née Phillips, the younger sister of Bernard and Tom, Bernard being Dominic's, Sîan's and Gareth's father.

Still no word, it is so very worrying, poor Alessandra is distraught. 😢 Please pray to God that Dom and Bruno are found safe. 🙏🙏

I'm thinking of you all today and you have all my thoughts and prayers 💗 My brother is also a journalist who has spent long periods in dangerous places, it is such a difficult mix of pride and fear. I will write to my MP today asking for more support, I'm hoping on hope for you

unctuousunicorns1 · 11/06/2022 20:34

Thank you Sciurus, and thank you all. 💕💕

Thank you. My mum phoned this morning, just before 11, with the news that Sîan had been informed by the Brazilian Embassy that two bodies had been found.

I know it has gone public now, and I also know that the Brazilian police have denied this story. More confusion and frustration; we just want to know the truth. I hope it will come out in full in time, for our family's and for Bruno's sakes.

Thank you again for all your kind thoughts and wishes. They're very much appreciated. 💕💕
